A1 Lithium Inc. plans to invest $569 million to establish a lithium carbonate plant in Green River, Utah. The mining company anticipates the project will create 138 jobs over the next 25 years.
Situated in Utah's Paradox Basin, A1 Lithium expects the advanced-stage lithium extraction site to become a key domestic supplier of battery-grade lithium carbonate for the electric vehicle and energy storage sectors in the U.S.
Based in Utah, A1 Lithium operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Australian-listed Anson Resources.
“Developing domestic supply chains for critical minerals is a key focus of both state and national energy infrastructure strategies,” Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development Commissioner Jefferson Moss said. “The Green River Lithium project in Emery County marks a significant advancement for rural economic growth in Utah. It establishes a sustainable and long-term industrial base, creating well-paying jobs in rural areas and strengthening Utah’s role in producing energy materials domestically.”
The GOED awarded A1 Lithium a post-performance tax reduction for the project, part of the state’s Rural Economic Development Tax Increment Financing (REDTIF) program. Additionally, A1 Lithium received approval from the Utah Inland Port Authority (UIPA) board for an incentive.
