Speaking on Business: Anson Resources | A1 Lithium

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Anson Resources is a global critical minerals company working in Utah. Through their Green River Lithium Project, they’re developing high-purity lithium for electric‑vehicle batteries, helping to power the U.S. clean-energy transition. CEO, Bruce Richardson, joins us with more. Bruce Richardson: At Anson Resources, we’re proud to advance America’s clean-energy future through our Green River Lithium Project in Utah’s Paradox Basin. Through our U.S. subsidiary, A1 Lithium, we’re developing a direct lithium extraction operation that will produce 10,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate annually beginning 2028 — more than double current U.S. production, strengthening domestic supply, supporting both Utah’s Governor Cox and Federal goals to onshore supply of critical minerals. With all major permits in place, a Letter of Interest from the U.S. EXIM Bank for 330 million U.S. dollars, and a binding offtake agreement with LG Energy Solution, we’ve established a foundation built for reliability and long-term success. Utah’s naturally pressurized, low-impurity brine allows extraction to be cleaner, more efficient and cost-effective. Utah has been an outstanding partner at every stage. With over thirty million dollars invested so far, we’re creating jobs and supporting rural communities, strengthening the country as a whole. Derek Miller: Anson Resources is supporting Utah communities by creating jobs, fostering local development and contributing to the state’s growing clean-energy economy.
