Biden Administration Approves First Lithium Project
Biden Administration Approves First Lithium Project
Construction of the mine is expected to start in 2025 with first production targeted for 2028. Ioneer said Rhyolite Ridge will supply batteries for more than 370,000 American-made electric vehicles. Ioneer could ultimately be a supplier for The Biden Administration on Thursday issued final approval for Ioneer's lithium mine, a big step toward bringing battery material sourcing to the U.S.
拜登政府週四發佈了對Ioneer鋰礦的最終批准，這是朝着將電池材料採購引入美國邁出的一大步。
What To Know: Ioneer announced it received its federal permit for the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project in Nevada from the Bureau of Land Management.
須知：Ioneer宣佈已獲得土地管理局對內華達州流紋岩嶺鋰硼項目的聯邦許可。
Rhyolite Ridge is now the first U.S. lithium project to be approved by the Biden Administration as the government ramps up efforts to source battery metals domestically and offset China's dominance.
Rhyolite Ridge現在是拜登政府批准的第一個美國鋰項目，因爲政府加大了在國內採購電池金屬的力度並抵消了中國的主導地位。
Construction of the mine is expected to start in 2025 with first production targeted for 2028. Ioneer said Rhyolite Ridge will supply batteries for more than 370,000 American-made electric vehicles. Ioneer could ultimately be a supplier for Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) and Toyota Motor Co (NYSE:TM). The company signed separate off-take agreements with Ford and a joint venture involving Toyota in 2022.
該礦的建設預計將於2025年開始，計劃於2028年首次生產。Ioneer表示，Rhyolite Ridge將爲超過37萬輛美國製造的電動汽車提供電池。Ioneer最終可能會成爲福特汽車公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：F）和豐田汽車公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：TM）的供應商。2022年，該公司與福特簽署了單獨的承購協議，併成立了一家涉及豐田的合資企業。
"I can say with absolute confidence there are few deposits in the world as impactful as Rhyolite Ridge. Today's approval of Ioneer's federal permit is the culmination of countless hours of work and a testament to our remarkable team's dedication to developing and building one of the most sustainable mining projects in the country," said James Calaway, executive chairman of Ioneer.
「我可以完全自信地說，世界上很少有像流紋岩脊這樣具有影響力的礦牀。今天對Ioneer聯邦許可證的批准是無數小時工作的結晶，也證明了我們卓越的團隊致力於開發和建設該國最可持續的採礦項目之一。」 Ioneer執行董事長詹姆斯·卡拉威說。
"We are pleased by what we have achieved working with the Biden Administration, and by the bi-partisan support we have received at the federal, state and local levels."
「我們對與拜登政府合作取得的成就以及我們在聯邦、州和地方各級獲得的兩黨支持感到高興。」
The lithium mine approval is the latest move from the Biden Administration to reduce reliance on China for critical minerals production.
鋰礦的批准是拜登政府爲減少對中國關鍵礦產生產的依賴而採取的最新舉措。
