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.

Help Save these Historic Cornish Engines! These historic Cornish steam engines are important pieces of the UK's industrial heritage. Without your support to fund urgent maintenance, they are at risk of severe degradation. The London Museum of Water and Steam needs to raise £50,000 by mid-August to save these irreplaceable machines. To find out more about the project and to donate, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eYif_Tux
Can you help us to save our 90 Inch and 100 Inch engines? Donate to our 2024 fundraising appeal: The Great Engine House Project. 👉The Great Engine House is a Grade I listed engine house, which is home to the gigantic Grand Junction 100 Inch and 90 Inch engines. The 90 Inch was installed in 1846 and ran daily for over 100 years - today it is one of the largest working beam engines of its type in the world! ⏳However a funding and maintenance backlog has led to severe degradation of the Engine House and the engines it holds. Unless work is undertaken in the next two years to stop this decay these historically significant machines could be lost, and central parts of the museum building will be closed off. We are at an advanced stage of receiving a funding grant for the entire project of £2.8 million, however, we will need to raise a percentage of the grant through crowdfunding. We need your help to raise £50,000 by mid-August. Can you help us secure the future of the Great Engine House? 🔗Click the link below to find out more about the project and donate!

We're so happy to hear Mila had such a positive experience with us! It’s inspiring to know that she was able to see firsthand our commitment to protecting the environment - it's truly in our DNA. Mila, we wish you all the best with your Environmental Science studies. We certainly want to encourage more women to pursue technical roles in the industry. Keep up the great work! Women In Mining UK (WIM UK)
Work experience.... Is it an ESG tick-box exercise? Or is an opportunity to inspire the next generation, whilst working on your employer-brand at the same time? For Cornish Lithium Plc it certainly is the latter. My daughter, and therefore our family, have been on an epic journey since September 2020 when Mila started tic'ing (turned out to be Tourette's) and had awful and terrifying seizures. With lots of positivity, encouragement, therapy and support from numerous people our lives now look very different... better! Connection with nature has played an important role in her development. And Mila spent hours and hours exploring woods near our house, where two old mines have completely returned to nature. A love of rocks was born, and she is now determined to become a Geologist. Enter Tracy Gay, Associate CIPD, Thomas Naylor and the wider team at Cornish Lithium Plc. Nothing was too much trouble when Mila was allowed to spend 3 days with them to do her work experience. She had been worried about the impact mining has on nature, and this is certainly justified. But not with Cornish Lithium Plc. Mila witnessed time and again that nature was always considered first, and learned that lithium mining, key of course for EV batteries, can and of course should be done responsibly. About 8% of the UK need for lithium for the next 20 years will come from here, in addition to a further 20-25% from Imerys British Lithium Limited. So at least a third of our lithium will come from Cornwall. But there is a huge skills-gap. Hundreds of skilled jobs need to be filled. So how inspired was it to experience how Cornish Lithium Plc approach this. An enthusiastic lover of rocks is now certainly a future Geologist. She is determined to go to Callywith College where she will also study Environmental Science. Thanks everyone at Cornish Lithium Plc for the outstanding support and inspiration you have given a young woman, who has overcome so many challenges! And fun fact ... Cornish miners still eat pasties for lunch 🤣

Perched 600ft above sea level on the historic site of an Iron Age fort, St Denys Church stands as a proud beacon for the village of St Dennis in Cornwall. For many years, the peal of its eight bells has remained mostly silent - but this is no longer the case! On Sunday, the bells rang out once again across the Clay Country, thanks to an 18-month restoration project run by local community members. At Cornish Lithium, we were delighted to support the project by providing storage and helping to clean the bells before their return to the tower. We're immensely proud to have played a part in this beautiful restoration and to support our local community - huge congratulations to everyone involved! 🔔
