Livent Expansion Opportunities
Brine-based Production
Lithium Carbonate
Livent has been extracting Lithium
Brine at Salar del Hombre Muerto in
Argentina for more than 25 years
One of the lowest cost resources
globally for Lithium Carbonate (current
capacity -20,000 metric tons) and
Lithium Chloride (~9,000 metric tons) (¹)
Proprietary extraction process enables
Livent to produce high quality, low
impurity Lithium Carbonate
Lithium Carbonate currently serves as
the feedstock for Livent's downstream
Lithium Hydroxide production
Targeting total Carbonate capacity in
Argentina of 100,000 metric tons by
the end of 2030
Lithium Hydroxide
Currently producing qualified battery-
grade Lithium Hydroxide in both the
U.S. and China (current capacity of
-15,000 metric tons in each region)
Livent's operational flexibility and
proven capabilities are valued by global
customers looking to localize battery
material supply chains
Modular expansion allows Livent to
build new capacity quickly and
efficiently in various locations
Evaluating building a plant that would
process recycled lithium material
from batteries into Lithium Hydroxide
Targeting total Hydroxide capacity of
at least 55,000 metric tons by the end
of 2025 (excluding Nemaska)
Hard-Rock Production
Nemaska Lithium: Fully Integrated
Hydroxide Production
Large and competitive spodumene
resource in Québec, Canada, with
strong sustainability profile
Strategic and supportive location in
Québec, Canada with ability to serve
customers in North America and
Europe
Livent to contribute technical and
commercial expertise to Nemaska
Lithium in the development and future
operation of the project
Livent holds a 50% ownership interest
in Nemaska Lithium (2)
Potential for Livent to increase
position in Nemaska over time
Source: Company filings and materials.
(1) Represents theoretical capacity for Lithium Carbonate and Lithium Chloride. Actual combined production of both products is lower and limited by the total capacity of lithium brine production.
(2) Livent announced on May 2, 2022 an agreement to double its ownership interest to 50% in Nemaska Lithium.
