Keliber has appointed advisor for corporate finance services

Nordic Mining’s associated company Keliber has appointed an advisor for corporate finance services. The purpose is to investigate options and possibly carry out transactions in order to position Keliber strategically and financially for the fast-growing development in the lithium industry.  

 Over the last months, the markets for lithium products have developed positively and the investor interest for the lithium industry has substantially increased. The fastest growing application area for lithium is the battery industry. Electric and hybrid vehicles and energy storage solutions to support a greener society are key drivers for the lithium market.

Currently, there is no production of battery grade lithium carbonate in Europe. The European consumption of lithium in various industrial applications is, however, substantial. Plans have been launched to build large battery plants in Europe in order to serve the car industry.

Keliber is in the Definite Feasibility Study (“DFS”) phase for its lithium project in Finland, targeting to be the first producer in Europe of battery grade product. The DFS is targeted for completion in Q2 2017.

Nordic Mining owns approximately 25% of the share capital and is the largest shareholder in Keliber.
