Australian lithium boron developer Global Geoscience is entering the US market, with a recent report backing the development of a $599m mining and processing operation in Nevada. A pre-feasibility study carried out by Amec Foster Wheeler supported the work at the company's 100%-owned Rhyolite Ridge site, predicting production to start in 2021. The company has also been working on an application for a battery storage project that would be located near its existing mine site in New South Wales.
