American Battery Technology Company (ABTC)’s Tonopah Flats lithium project (TFLP) has been selected as a Transparency Priority Project by the US Federal Permitting Council.
This designation highlights the projects critical role in advancing domestic critical mineral lithium production and supporting US energy independence. The project is now featured on the FAST-41 Permitting Dashboard, underscoring its importance as a national priority.
“We are excited by this selection of our Tonopah Flats Lithium Project as a FAST-41 critical mineral Transparency Project,” said Ryan Melsert, ABTC CEO. “As we are currently working through permitting efforts with multiple federal agencies for the construction of this domestic critical mineral project, the support to coordinate and fast-track these efforts is greatly appreciated.”
For ABTC’s Tonopah Flats Lithium Project, this distinction marks a significant milestone in its development. Situated in central Nevada, the project encompasses one of the largest identified claystone resource deposits in the US, and has the foundation to play a pivotal role in addressing the nation’s growing needs for onshoring battery-grade lithium.
