Green Technology Metals Limited Has Announced Its Commitment To Building Ontario’s First Integrated Lithium Business
Green Technology Metals Limited (ASX: GT1), a Canadian-focused lithium exploration and development company, has reaffirmed its bold commitment to establishing Ontario’s first fully integrated lithium business, as detailed in its strategic update on March 4, 2025. This ambitious plan aims to create a vertically integrated supply chain, from mining high-grade spodumene at its Seymour and Root projects to producing battery-grade lithium hydroxide at a proposed conversion facility in Thunder Bay.
The company’s flagship Seymour Project, located 250 kilometers northeast of Thunder Bay, boasts a resource of 9.9 million tonnes at 1.04% Li2O, with production targeted for late 2025, while the Root Project, with 14.6 million tonnes at 1.21% Li2O, is slated for 2029. Backed by a $1.8 billion development plan, Green Technology Metals is leveraging strategic partnerships with industry leaders like EcoPro Innovation and Lithium Americas to fast-track its timeline.
The initiative includes a $282 million investment for the Seymour mine and concentrator, with the Thunder Bay facility set to process lithium concentrates into hydroxide for North America’s electric vehicle (EV) battery market. A recent $8 million investment from EcoPro and a $100 million letter of intent from Export Development Canada (EDC) underscore the project’s momentum, positioning Ontario as a key player in the global EV supply chain. CEO Luke Cox emphasized the company’s focus on sustainability, utilizing regional hydroelectric power and engaging Indigenous communities, as it aims to deliver “clean, green” lithium by mid-2028, meeting surging demand amid a projected lithium deficit by 2027.
