One of the MOST ADVANCED critical mineral development projects in the U.S.

8-Year Piloted, Proven Technology
that is Commercially Ready
Rigorous research and development of the mineral processing technology which is currently being licensed to other developers across the globe.

Fully Permitted
NEPA/CEQA approved, Conditional Use Permit for mineral extraction and all material permits in place.

Co-Located, Existing Geothermal Operations
In 2012 the EnergySource team developed and began operating a 50MW geothermal plant, which will connect to Project ATLiS.

Proven Resource
The Salton Sea Resource Area has billions of tons of geothermal brine proven to host commercially viable concentrations of lithium, manganese and zinc.
