About Grit Metals Corp.

Grit Metals is a junior mining company currently focused on the lithium-cesium-tantalum Finnish pegmatite project in central Finland. Governing bodies in Europe and Finland are legislating environmentally friendly and energy independent laws and policies. One of the key components is access to rare earth elements and, specifically, lithium. The company's exploration licences are located within one kilometres of the Keliber mine and production complex, currently under construction and expected to begin production in second half 2025.

An estimated 600-million-euro investment by Keliber's parent company Sibanye-Stillwater Ltd. in partnership with the Finnish Minerals Group is under way in the Kautinen region, and will see the development of open-pit and underground mining from several deposits, and the construction of a central spodumene concentrator plant and a lithium hydroxide chemical plant at tidewater in Kokkola. When completed, this complex will comprise a complete hardrock spodumene pegmatite lithium supply chain.
