Weardale Lithium signed an agreement with Tees Valley Lithium on 25th February 2025, less than 3 weeks after securing planning permission for the site development. They have already awarded a contract for the plant development to KKBR, who they have already worked with in the pilot stage of the project, using the most sustainable method of lithium extraction available. Partly due to the site's unique geology- the lithium is contained within geothermal water underground.
I expect we'll be hearing about site construction and employment opportunities soon enough. The plans suggest the plant will be quite light touch because of the simplified process.
