Ricca Resources contributes to the battery supply chain through lithium exploration, notably its flagship Atex Lithium-Tantalum Project in Côte d’Ivoire featuring 135 square kilometers of pegmatite-hosted lithium mineralization. Through an earn-in agreement, the company can acquire up to 50% of both the Atex Project and the adjacent 365-square-kilometer Alliance exploration license. It employs systematic geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and targeted drilling to define viable lithium reserves for the electric vehicle battery market.
Key projects include the Atex Lithium-Tantalum Project (135 km², first lithium venture in Côte d’Ivoire), the adjacent 365 km² Alliance license, a 7,500-meter gold drilling program in Chad, a 2,790-meter drilling campaign in Liberia, and ongoing gold and lithium exploration across a 3,120 km² portfolio in Côte d’Ivoire.
