The acquisition marks GCOM’s entry into the lithium sector, where prices have surged due to increasing global demand for EV batteries.

GCOM CEO and director Trumbull Fisher said: “The district-scale land package we are acquiring offers the potential to explore known areas of lithium while, at the same time, securing an entire belt that has yet to be methodically explored.

“While the Berlin project, with its uranium, phosphate, nickel and vanadium resources, continues to be of great importance to GCOM, this acquisition demonstrates our team’s plan to continue to expand further into the battery metals space.”   

The 485,000ha lithium property comprises staked and granted claims that extend through the provinces of Chubut, Rio Negro and Neuquén.
