• Andrada Mining is actively seeking a strategic partner to vertically integrate within the lithium value chain, from mining to processing the concentrate into a refined lithium product.

BEST MOMENTS

"We've built operations now, we've expanded the operations, we're looking at adding new elements to the operations. So, you know, we really do have a strong core team capable of executing large-scale projects." 

"We believe that identifying a strategic partner that will give us access to that part of the lithium value chain goes some way in terms of establishing that vertical integration across the entire lithium value chain." 

"There is going to be a lot of consolidation within the smaller parts of the market and I think that provides us with a unique opportunity to embark on the next phase of our growth as an organisation." 

"Namibia is a fantastic investment destination. It's a mining jurisdiction. Some of the biggest uranium deposits in the world are there. They understand mining. They've got a very highly educated mining human resource in the country."
