Ukraine has finally declared a winner in the battle for lithium! This is not just another project — it is a revolution in the development of strategic resources. The pilot breakthrough is taking place at the “Dilyanka Dobra” deposit in Kirovohrad region, where the new energy of independence is truly breathing.
The project requires a staggering $179 million in capital investment. And don’t think these are just numbers! $12 million of that will go towards new geological exploration. The other $167 million will go towards mining and beneficiation of the ore, if reserves are confirmed. This is not just an investment, it is a step towards a new possible world.
Absolutely everyone competed in the competition — Ukrainian and foreign companies, consortia that do not compromise, have resources and experience. And Dobra Lithium Holdings JV, LLC won, which became a symbol of hope. Partners — TechMet and The Rock Holdings — do not take lightly the status of top players. They know how to extract critical minerals.
This project is not just about lithium. It is a signal to investors from the US and the EU that Ukraine is now in the game. The level of international attention has begun to grow, and access to the latest technologies opens the door to progress. This is not just additional investment; it is security, it is confidence in the future.
The new mechanism of the production sharing agreement is not just a norm, it is actually a partnership with the state, where the plots themselves remain the property of the people. We, Ukrainians, defend our truth in its purest form. This is our resource, and we will not get it without a fight.
It is important that these steps are just the beginning. The government declares that this project is one of the stages on the path to Ukraine's integration into global supply chains. Each new project is a new opportunity for the people, one of the new windows to the world!
Let us remind you that on the night between April 30 and May 1, another important event took place - an agreement between Ukraine and the United States on the creation of a joint Investment Fund. These negotiations were difficult, but the results are forces for change. The fund will invest in the development of minerals and related infrastructure projects. Understand that this agreement is not just a formality, it is the start of new opportunities!
The Ministry of Economy announces that we are ready to open the largest state-owned lithium deposit for private investors. Ukraine is entering a new era, and we will not stop!
