The $500B Lithium Industry Has a New Unicorn

In 2018, a little-known startup began a quest to disrupt the $500B lithium industry.

Fast-forward to today. After inventing tech that extracts 300% more lithium than conventional methods, EnergyX has officially graduated to Unicorn status, a private company worth more than $1 billion. 

Next, they’re ready for their biggest leap yet.

EnergyX is preparing for commercial extraction of up to 9.8M tons of untapped in situ lithium in Chile. A recent third-party study confirmed that’s potentially a $1.1B annual revenue opportunity, at projected market prices. When you combine that with nearly 50,000 acres in the US to be acquired under a binding agreement, it’s no surprise they’re America’s newest unicorn.

It’s also why they’ve already raised $135M+ in investment from behemoths like General Motors and POSCO and 39,000+ retail investors.
