SPODUMENE ("HARD-ROCK") VS. BRINE
LITHIUM
IONIC
ā
ā
Lithium supply originates in two main forms: "brines" or "hard rock"
Both occur naturally in the earth, but use different extraction methods
Lithium Ionic's lithium deposits are hosted in hard rock spodumene

Spodumene
Li PRODUCT
Lithium
Carbonate
(Li2CO3)
Lithium carbonate
can be converted to
Lithium Hydroxide at
an added cost.
Lithium
Hydroxide
(LiOH)
Preferred battery-grade material.
Lithium hydroxide battery
cathodes have better storage
capacity and longer life cycles.
CATHODE MATERIAL
LCO
LMO
NCM 111
NCM 622
LFP
NCM 811
NCA
Industry Preference:
NCM 811 and 622
have higher energy
densities, longer
lifespans and provide
better EV driving range
