Cornish Lithium is exploring cream producer's land

Cornish Lithium, UK, will investigate sites owned by Cornish clotted cream maker Rodda's.

 

The miner will drill a research borehole in the Autumn to test the viability of a commercial scale geothermal lithium and heat project.

Rodda's intends to use the geothermal heat from the project to potentially decarbonise production at its creamery in Scorrier, near Redruth.

Cornish Lithium CEO Jeremy Wrathall says, 'A successful geothermal lithium and heat project in Cornwall will demonstrate the potential for creating a truly sustainable source of lithium to support the UK’s growing battery industry whilst at the same time helping to decarbonise local businesses and provide them with a more sustainable future energy source.'
