Green Technology Metals: Cashed Up and Pursuing Low-carbon Lithium in Ontarioyoutu.be

After making its ASX debut this past November, Green Technology Metals (ASX:GT1) has been hard at work in Ontario, Canada, where it holds three projects covering 35,000 hectares.

Speaking to the Investing News Network at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention, General Manager Matt Herbert described the province as an "undiscovered gem" with the potential to contribute to the lithium supply chain in an environmentally conscious manner.

"I think the opportunity there is to create some very, very green lithium," he said.

"At the moment, a lot of lithium is mined in Western Australia, (then) shipped to China for processing; from China it goes to European battery markets. I think by the time that lithium arrives where it's supposed to arrive it's left itself a bit of a carbon footprint," Herbert explained during the conversation. "We have a real opportunity here to leverage low-carbon lithium in a place that is really screaming for security."

Green Technology Metals has already seen support from members of the Ontario government, including recently re-elected Premier Doug Ford, and Greg Rickford, who is the province's minister of northern development, mines, natural resources and forestry, as well as its minister of indigenous affairs.

"Both are massive supporters of critical minerals," Herbert said. "Those things are important when you're at the permitting and approval stage, and that's exactly where we're at. We're able to leverage those relationships really well, and there's just no better place to be at the moment."
