Company DescriptionLepidico Limited engages in the exploration, development, and production of lithium chemicals in Australia, Canada, Africa, and internationally. The company operates through two segments, Mineral Exploration and Technology. Its technologies include L-Max technology, a hydro-metallurgical process for processing lithium mica slurry; S-Max that produces amorphous silica from a range of mica minerals, including lithium micas; and LOH-Max process, which produces high purity lithium hydroxide from lithium sulphate. In addition, it holds an 80% interest in the Karibib project located within the Karibib pegmatite belt in central Namibia in southwestern Africa. The company was incorporated in 1979 and is based in Belmont, Australia.
How the Company Makes MoneyLepidico Limited generates revenue primarily through the development and commercialization of its unique lithium extraction technologies, L-Max® and LOH-Max®. The company earns money by licensing these technologies to other mining and chemical companies, allowing them to extract lithium from non-traditional resources efficiently. Additionally, Lepidico might engage in joint ventures or partnerships with other firms to develop lithium projects, sharing in the profits from the sale of extracted minerals. As the demand for lithium continues to grow, particularly in the battery and electric vehicle sectors, Lepidico's innovative approaches position it to capitalize on this burgeoning market. Furthermore, the company may generate revenue from the sale of by-products extracted through its processes, thereby enhancing its income streams.
