SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 22, 2024 / Elektros (OTC PINK:ELEK) ("Elektros" or "the Company"), an emerging leader in the electric mobility industry, announced today it has signed lease agreement for Lithium mining project in Sierra Leone.
On August 15, 2024, the Company entered into a 13-year ground lease agreement for Lithium mine located at Gbu-Gbu village Gawola Town in the Tinkoko chiefdom Bo District in the southern part of Sierra Leone, West Africa.
The purpose of the lease is to commence lithium mining operation and management of a multi-family residential apartment for laborers of the mining operation as needed.
The Company has already begun initial preparations at the mining site, with the first shipments of lithium-bearing rock aggregate expected to be ready for off-site processing and milling in the coming weeks.
The global demand for lithium has been steadily rising, driven primarily by the growing electric vehicle (EV) market and the increasing need for large-scale energy storage solutions. According to a recent industry report, the global lithium-ion battery market is expected to reach $116.6 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 18.0% from 2021 to 2030.
Sierra Leone has emerged as an attractive destination for lithium mining due to its investor-friendly policies and abundant natural resources. The country has been actively promoting its mining sector, offering competitive tax incentives and streamlining regulatory processes to attract foreign investment. Additionally, the southern region of Sierra Leone, where the Company's mining operation is located, is known for its rich lithium deposits.
Lithium has a wide range of applications beyond EVs, including solar battery storage, data centers, and consumer electronics. As the world continues to transition towards renewable energy and sustainable technologies, the demand for this critical mineral is expected to dramatically increase in the coming years.
