Last month, Adam Matthews, Chief Geologist and Joe Skuse, Lead Hydrogeologist, represented Cornish Lithium at the Geothermal Rising – a key event in the geothermal energy sector. This was a valuable opportunity to further enhance our expertise in utilising geothermal energy as part of our responsible lithium projects in Cornwall. With geothermal energy playing a critical role in the clean energy transition, connecting with industry experts and sharing knowledge is more important than ever. Joe said: "We had the fantastic opportunity to attend GRC 2024, where we participated in workshops and technical talks, met with experts and gained new insights. I came away with a much clearer understanding of geothermal project resource characterisation – both from a technical and economic standpoint. This understanding will help push our project to the next phase." As we continue to push the boundaries of sustainable lithium extraction, collaborating with the global geothermal community is key to driving progress and advancing our projects. #GeothermalRising #GeothermalEnergy #CornishLithium #CleanEnergy #SustainableFuture #Lithium #ResourceDevelopment #Innovation #ClimateAction #GRC2024 #GlobalConnections #Geothermal

About us
Cornish Lithium is focused on exploring for lithium within the hot springs that naturally occur beneath the surface in and around Cornish granites, with the aim to create a new mining industry in Cornwall. The directors of Cornish Lithium have extensive mining industry and fundraising experience and have secured agreements with various holders of mineral rights in Cornwall to explore for, and to commercially develop, lithium bearing hot spring brines throughout areas considered to be highly prospective. The region has long been associated with tin and copper. Cornish Lithium, by undertaking one of the largest unified exploration projects in the history of Cornwall, sees the potential to move Cornish mining into the 21st century. Lithium is the lightest metal and one of the most chemically reactive. As the world becomes more environmentally conscious, lithium’s importance and demand is growing rapidly with increasing usage in batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. With demand for lithium expected to increase rapidly for uses in modern technologies, the UK government has highlighted this strategic mineral as a metal of importance to UK industry. Goldman Sachs has described lithium as “the new gasoline” due to its ability to fuel a transformation in the automotive industry and to move the world towards a zero-emissions future, especially when combined with renewable power sources.

A brilliant morning on Thursday at the Great South West Cornwall Roadshow with Cornwall Chamber of Commerce at The Alverton Hotel, discussing a topic that’s close to our hearts at Cornish Lithium – the importance of amplifying our voice in the South West to the UK government so that the incredible potential of our region is recognised and receives the vital funding that it deserves. As a proud Cornish company, founded by Jeremy Wrathall, who began his career at Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter, we’re on a mission to revitalise Cornwall’s mining industry. Not just to honour our heritage, but to create well-paid, long-term jobs for locals while securing our own domestic source of lithium in the UK, which is crucial as we move towards the energy transition. Karl Tucker, Chair of Great South West, captured it perfectly: "The Great South West’s rich deposits of critical minerals are vital to both regional growth and the UK’s mineral security. As demand for these minerals rises globally, our region is positioned to lead in sustainable extraction, fuelling economic resilience and supporting the green industrial revolution." Thank you for organising the event Great South West, it was great to be part of these insightful conversations.
