TSX-V-listed Rock Tech Lithium has announced government approval for its planned lithium refinery in Guben, Germany.

The Brandenburg State Office for the Environment on Friday issued the final approval for the refinery, paving the way for 24 000 t/y of battery-grade lithium hydroxide production.

Rock Tech chairperson and CEO Dirk Harbecke said the approvals were an exciting development for the company.

“Not only have we received the full permits to operate our convert in Germany, but also we are the first company in Europe to permit a full-scale lithium refinery – without any appeals to the project,” he said.

The Guben refinery is the first of two refineries that Rock Tech plans to build. The other will be located in Red Rock, Ontario.

Rock Tech plans to source raw material from its Georgia Lake spodumene project, in Thunder Bay, as well as procure raw material from discarded batteries.
