[oneuvakind]

Piedmont Lithium has just received federal approval to continue with their North Carolina lithium mine project, according to a press release from the company.

Piedmont currently owns almost 1,200 acres in western Gaston County, on which they plan to open America’s largest lithium mine to power electric cars and smart grids around the world.

The Piedmont Lithium Project is located within the world-class Carolina Tin-Spodumene Belt (TSB) and along trend to the Hallman Beam and Kings Mountain mines, historically providing most of the western world’s lithium from the 1950s through the 1980s. The TSB has been described as one of the largest lithium regions in the world and is located approximately 25 miles west of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Piedmont hopes to have their feasibility studies completed in 2020 and their mine open by the end of 2021.

"More than 100 jobs will be created for both the mine and processing plant, and the future chemical plant would bring the total to more than 300, Phillips said. Donny Hicks, Gaston County’s economic development director, placed a lower estimate on the number of jobs, saying more than 50 employees are expected in initial phases."

The Foote mine has been shut down for years. They import brine from Brazil, now.
