The awards will be presented at the Fastmarkets Lithium Supply and Battery Raw Materials Conference in Las Vegas on 24 June 2025.
The Best New Project award recognises a groundbreaking new project in the fields of mining, refining, or recycling that has demonstrated exceptional innovation, impact, and potential. It celebrates projects that drive progress, enhance efficiency, and introduce transformative solutions, with measurable outcomes, long-term benefits, and the potential to scale within and beyond the industry.
Luke Fitzgerald, Chief Executive Officer of EV Metals Group plc, commented: “Being shortlisted for the Best New Project award at the Fastmarkets Awards is a testament to the foresight and hard work by EVM and our partners in advancing our Lithium Chemicals Plant (LCP) project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As a first for the region, the LCP will reshape battery materials supply chains by leveraging the strategic location and cost competitive advantages of operating in Saudi Arabia, and by using next-generation processing technology to deliver a sustainable and scalable supply of high purity lithium chemicals to meet growing demand. The recognition as a finalist highlights the ambition, capability, and progress of EV Metals Group as we continue to support the global transition to clean energy.”

About EV Metals Group plc
EV Metals Group plc (EVM) is a global battery chemicals and technology business committed to a clean energy future.
EVM is focused on the production of high purity chemicals required in rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Our business model is based on the integration of upstream (mining) and midstream (chemical refining) supply chains for critical minerals from geopolitically aligned sources to produce high purity battery chemicals vital to the global energy transition.
Through our mine to refine value proposition, we will offer transparent and stable supplies of high purity battery chemicals to growth markets including the Middle East, Europe and North America. This will involve upstream mining and production of intermediate products via participation and ownership of mining mineral resources, facilitated by joint ventures and long-term offtake agreements for midstream processing at our planned chemical refining plant in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
Our flagship Lithium Chemicals Plant (LCP) in Yanbu Industrial City, KSA, is being developed as a midstream hub for diversification and geopolitical alignment of supply chains for electric vehicle and battery cell manufacturers. During its first stage, the LCP will produce 25,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of battery grade Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate, followed by an additional 22,000 TPA of high purity Lithium Carbonate (Stage 1B). The LCP will contribute towards addressing expected global supply deficits while supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 industrialisation goals.
Incorporated in 2014, EVM is a private company with operations in Western Australia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
