ioneer’s Bernard Rowe details a milestone offtake agreement the company has struck with automotive titan Ford. The deal isn’t the first of its kind for the ASX-lister, which plans to supply lithium and boron from its Rhyolite Ridge project in Nevada. In April 2020, a definitive feasibility study validated Rhyolite Ridge as a world-class resource thanks to its low-cost, large-scale operation and long mine life. Next up, ioneer plans to secure a key permit for Rhyolite Ridge, get construction-ready and tie up funding arrangements.
