Project Description
Vulcan aims to be the world’s first integrated lithium chemicals and renewable-energy producer with net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions. Phase 1 comprises the Lionheart and the neighbouring Taro zones. 

The definitive feasibility study (DFS) envisages an operation producing 24 000 t/y lithium hydroxide monohydrate, targeting more than 300 GWh/y of renewable power, and more than 250 GWh/y renewable heat production.

A Phase 2 DFS is to follow, targeting the production of an additional, modular 24 000 t/y, consistent with the project’s January 2021 prefeasibility study, updated for new engineering data from the Phase 1 DFS.

Potential Job Creation

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
The DFS estimates a pretax net present value, at an 8% discount rate, of €3.9-billion and an internal rate of return of 34%, with a payback of 3.5 years.

Capital Expenditure
Capital expenditure is estimated at €1.5-billion.

Planned Start/End Date
