What we do

We’re unlocking a green future with the cleanest, fastest and most efficient method of extracting and refining lithium.

2.2 million litres of water produce just 1 ton of lithium over 18+ months using traditional methods

Company's story

Our Specialty
No water, no chemicals, renewably powered
Our cutting-edge DLE-R technology revolutionises Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) and Refining processes by extracting and producing battery-grade lithium hydroxide in a single, scalable and modular step that requires no water or chemicals and can run entirely on renewable energy.



Lithium is often found in some of Earth’s most sensitive environments such as Chile's Salar de Atacama and Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni

The unique geology of these areas has enabled lithium to accumulate in subsurface aquifers over millennia
The region is also one of the driest on Earth

ElectraLith’s technology eliminates the need for water and chemicals, and can be powered entirely from renewable energy, delivering the cleanest, fastest and most sustainable lithium extraction.

Direct lithium extraction (DLE) is the future of global brine production because of its lower costs and environmental impact, according to Australian startup ElectraLith.

CEO Charlie McGill sees the company's "direct lithium extraction and refining" surpassing other DLE methods because it does not need water or chemicals.

ElectraLith is testing brines for major shareholder Rio Tinto's Rincon lithium project in Argentina and is fielding interest from other miners.Direct lithium extraction to spread across all brines – ElectraLith CEO
