The company was previously known as Hawkstone Mining.[3]
Activities
editThe company is working on the Big Sandy lithium mine located on Bureau of Land Management land in Wikieup, Arizona. The location is proximate to the Hualapai tribe's Cholla Canyon Ranch and the nearby Cofer Hot Springs, considered sacred to the tribe.[4] In 2021, the American Institute for Economic Research stated that the planned development of the mine would destroy the springs.[5] In October 2022, Arizona Lithium signed an informal agreement with Cemvita Factory to use their Tempe, Arizona production facility to process lithium.[6] In December 2022, the company formed a partnership with the Navajo Nation's Navajo Transitional Energy Company to collaborate on the mine.[7]
In December 2022, the company offered to buy Saskatchewan-based Canadian company Prairie Lithium.[8]
