Pioneering Critical Mineral Independence

We stand at the frontlines of a global challenge.

The world’s most advanced technologies — from electric vehicles and renewable energy systems to aerospace and defence — all rely on a handful of critical minerals and rare earths. Without them, industries stall, innovation halts, and nations lose their competitive edge and ability to advance.

For decades, the refining of these materials has been concentrated in one place: China. This monopoly has left the global supply chain exposed — vulnerable to export bans, price manipulation, and geopolitical tension. And when the supply stops, the future stops with it.

Lithorium Minerals & Metals has been established to break that dependency.

Born from the breakthrough research of Fluoromet Limited, we have developed a refining approach that is clean, scalable, and profitable — capable of recovering multiple high-value minerals from ores, concentrates, and even decades-old tailings once considered waste.

We don’t just produce one material; we unlock the full potential of every tonne we process — lithium, rare earths, strategic metals, and high-purity industrial minerals. Our modular plant design can be deployed quickly, close to the source, cutting lead times and delivering the secure supply that governments, manufacturers, and defence agencies desperately need.

Our mission is simple but urgent:

  • Restore refining capability to Australia and allied Western nations.

  • Build resilient supply chains for the industries of tomorrow.

  • Do it sustainably, with the lowest possible carbon footprint.

We are not just producing minerals — we are pioneering and enabling the independence and resilience of the Western global economy.
