Vulcan Energy Commences Commercial Production of VULSORB®

Vulcan Energy Resources Limited has started the commercial-scale production of its proprietary VULSORB® lithium extraction material in Germany. This development paves the way for the production of first fill volumes for lithium extraction columns at Project Lionheart, anticipated in the latter half of 2028.

VULSORB® is designed to selectively extract lithium from brine, having undergone extensive testing. It is one of the few direct lithium extraction technologies backed by Western intellectual property outside of China, where current export restrictions apply.

This milestone marks a significant de-risking phase for Vulcan's Lionheart project. It underscores Vulcan's strategic advantage in the lithium industry, enhancing Europe's supply chain security and resilience. Over the next 18-24 months, Vulcan, along with its local partner, will continue VULSORB® production in preparation for commissioning Project Lionheart.
