Firms form JV to manufacture lithium-ion battery cathode material in Canada

Prairie Lithium and LiEP Energy will initiate a two-stage pilot project to produce the key lithium-ion battery cathode material lithium hydroxide from oilfield brines in Canada.

Through a joint venture called the Prairie-LiEP Critical Mineral (PLCM) and pending regulatory permits, stage one of the project is expected to begin next month in Saskatchewan.
