Ghana’s lithium is not brine — it is hard-rock spodumene pegmatite. The Ewoyaa deposits in Ghana’s Central Region are being developed as a conventional open-pit spodumene operation using dense media separation (DMS) processing technology, targeting annual production of approximately 300,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate over a 12-year mine life.
Understanding this distinction matters commercially. Operators who arrive expecting South American brine processes face costly reconfiguration. Our team has worked directly with Ghana’s spodumene geology and knows how to structure projects for this specific resource type, this specific regulatory framework, and this specific market moment.

Regulatory & Fiscal Landscape
Ghana’s mining fiscal framework has evolved significantly. The Growth and Sustainability Levy (Act 1095) requires mining companies to pay an additional levy on gross production, on top of the standard 13% royalty. This levy was increased in the 2025 budget and its sunset extended to 2028. Our financial modelling explicitly captures this and all other current levies — ensuring your commercial case reflects the actual 2025/2026 fiscal regime, not an outdated one.
Why Act Now
Ewoyaa's Mining Lease was ratified by Parliament in March 2026 — the first in Ghana's history for lithium
Mine Operating Permit issued October 2024 — construction underway
Ghana's Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) is backing flagship projects — national confidence signal
Global lithium market projected to reach $96.5 billion by 2030 — early licensing positions matter
Securing Ghanaian Lithium Supply
We connect buyers and offtakers with verified spodumene concentrate supply from Ghana’s emerging lithium sector.
For Buyers & Offtakers
Spodumene Concentrate Brokerage
We broker the sale of Ghanaian hard-rock spodumene concentrate, connecting buyers with verified supply from the country’s emerging lithium sector. We manage product specification matching, term-sheet groundwork, and the in-country regulatory checks that protect a transaction — so you secure supply with confidence rather than guesswork.
