Alkemy hosts Syrah Resources, Zeus Capital and Austrade at Wilton International and PD Ports
On Friday 26th April the Alkemy team hosted Syrah Resources, Zeus Capital and Austrade for a successful site visit of the plot for Tees Valley Lithium and the potential plot for Tees Valley Graphite and Syrah Resources at the world-class Wilton International located in Teesside UK.
During the visit, the team visited the integrated infrastructure and logistics capabilities at PD Ports before spending the afternoon touring Wilton International.
Wilton offers unrivalled plug & play facilities, decarbonised power and direct access to a skilled labour force inside the Teesside Freeport, making it an ideal location for the low-carbon processing facilities.
Alkemy wishes to thank their valued and trusted partners at PD Ports and Wilton International, respectively, for the ongoing support and for hosting a successful visit by the delegation.
Paul Atherley, Chairman of Alkemy Capital Investments commented:
‘It was a pleasure to host some of our most valued partners and guests last week to inspect first-hand Wilton International’s world-class plug and play facilities and direct access to PD Ports unrivalled infrastructure in the Teesside Freeport.’
Shaun Verner, Managing Director and CEO of Syrah Resources commented:
‘I thank Alkemy, Sembcorp and PD Ports for hosting Syrah Resources on the site visit and briefing us on the impressive infrastructure installed and activities underway within the Teesside Freeport. It is clear that Teesport and Wilton International offer good foundations for a potential active anode facility in the UK.’
Anastasia Nishnianidze, Trade and Investment Commissioner for Austrade commented:
‘The collaboration between Australia’s Syrah Resources and the UK’s Alkemy Capital is a very timely development that leverages Australia’s deep expertise in critical minerals extraction and the UK’s minerals processing know-how. The project will help the UK and Europe secure future supply of minerals needed for the global energy transition and manage wider supply chain risks. The UK is well-placed to facilitate this project. Wilton International Chemicals Park is part of Teesside Freeport and offers freeport tax incentives, access to reliable renewable energy and a skilled workforce. It’s exciting to see Syrah Resources and Alkemy explore these opportunities.’
Robin Byde, Director of Zeus Capital commented:
‘An exciting and strategically significant project, supporting UK and European EV transition.’
