The Kings Mountain, North Carolina, site represents Albemarle’s mine-to-market strategy, encompassing all elements of the lithium ecosystem needed to power everything from consumer electronics and electric vehicles to life-saving medical devices. The site sits on one of the richest spodumene ore deposits in the world and is one of the most sophisticated sites for advanced lithium material development.

The Kings Mountain site has one of the world’s richest lithium depositions, representing an essential part of the global clean energy transformation. Albemarle is seeking approval to resume open pit mining and expand the mine footprint of the Kings Mountain Mine which was idled in the early 1990s. Lithium from Albemarle’s proposed project is expected to be a crucial building block for the transition to clean energy and sustainable transportation and continue to support the manufacture a lot of products used every day.
