Project Overview

The Austrian Lithium Exploration Licences are located in Carinthia, ~270 km south of Vienna, Austria and 20 km east of Wolfsberg, an industrial town, with established infrastructure, including access to the European motorway and railway network. Other mining activities are already established in the area. The main industry in the area is forestry and a pulp and paper mill is in operation nearby.

The Austrian Lithium Project Exploration Licences comprises two exploration areas made up of 99 exploration licences, which together cover a total area of 46.5 km2, and are valid until 31 December 2020.  The Austrian Lithium Projects’ Exploration Licences are strategically placed for European manufacturers using lithium.

The Austrian Lithium Licences are considered prospective for lithium and other pegmatite hosted minerals. There has been no recent geological exploration for these minerals by any public company or any mine production on any of the project areas.
