Ioneer Ltd.: Developing a Rare North American Lithium-Boron Deposit Crucial to Clean Technology


Ioneer Ltd. (ASX:INR, Nasdaq: IONR), Nasdaq: IONR), Nasdaq: IONR) aims to develop a source of both lithium and boron for the US domestic supply chain. The company owns 100 percent of the only lithium-boron deposit in North America and one of two known lithium-boron deposits globally. Its flagship asset, the Nevada Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project, is the most advanced lithium development project in the United States and has the potential for future low-cost production. An experienced management team with expertise throughout the natural resources industry leads Ioneer towards its goals.

The Rhyolite Ridge Project is unique both within North America and globally due to its lithium-boron deposits. Both elements are necessary for decarbonisation, making the asset ideal for supporting the United States’ goals of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. A 2020 definitive feasibility study (DFS) confirmed the project is a world-class lithium and boron asset with a long mine life and strong economics.

Ioneer has entered into a joint venture agreement with Sibanye Stillwater Ltd (Sibanye-Stillwater) (NYSE:SBSW) to advance the Rhyolite Ridge project once a final investment decision is made. Ioneer will remain the operator of the asset, and the new partner will contribute US$490 million in exchange for a 50 percent interest in a joint venture to support the development of the Rhyolite Ridge Project.
