Transforming Geological Waste Into Bankable Energy Assets
SPARK is a pilot-first lithium beneficiation platform designed to convert low-grade, discarded spodumene into export-grade SC6 concentrate, anchoring Africa into the global clean energy supply chain.
Commercial Scale

The Structural Failure
Africa exports raw minerals while value is captured elsewhere. In lithium, vast quantities of 1β3% LiβO spodumene are discarded or stranded due to lack of beneficiation infrastructure.
The problem is not geology. It is processing.
The SPARK Solution
SPARK is a modular Spodumene Processing & Advanced Recovery Kernel designed to validate, upgrade, and standardize lithium feedstock at source.
β’ Converts 1.5β2.5% LiβO ore into 5.5β6.0% SC6
β’ Pilot-validated metallurgy before scale
β’ Repeatable, financeable plant architecture
β’ ESG-aligned processing with water recycling
