Rock Tech Lithium

Rock Tech Lithium is a German-Canadian critical minerals company focused on the lithium value chain. It describes itself as developing the next generation of lithium converters to supply Europe and North America with sustainably and locally produced battery-grade lithium. The company is advancing its first lithium converter in Guben, Brandenburg, Germany, positioned in what it calls Europe's emerging battery corridor. This facility is designed to transform lithium-bearing ore into battery-grade lithium hydroxide, a key input for the fast-growing European battery industry.
