Read MoreHide Full Article
Piedmont Lithium Inc. (PLL - Free Report) announced that it has received an environmental permit ("EPA Permit") from Ghana’s Environmental Protection Agency for its Ewoyaa Lithium Project. This marks a major milestone in the development of the project.
PLL-Atlantic Lithium Partnership
Piedmont Lithium is jointly developing the Ewoyaa Project with Atlantic Lithium Limited.
Piedmont Lithium acquired a 22.5% stake in Ewoyaa in August 2023. This investment paves the way for Piedmont Lithium to potentially hold 50% equity in Atlantic Lithium's lithium assets portfolio in Ghana, pending regulatory approvals.
