Bradda Head Lithium (LSE:BHL) has signed a non‑binding memorandum of understanding with Tyfast Energy to explore a domestic US supply pathway for battery‑grade lithium to feed Tyfast’s proprietary LVO anode technology, targeting heavy‑duty and defence applications.
Bradda Head Lithium, a United States‑focused lithium exploration and development company, offers a 100%‑owned portfolio across Arizona and Nevada spanning sedimentary clay, hard‑rock and brine deposits, including the Basin project with an independent estimate of more than 2.8 Mt LCE, the companies said.
Under the MOU the parties will, within 45 days, seek to agree an initial workplan setting sample requests, testing protocols, indicative acceptance and qualification criteria, meeting and data‑sharing cadence and estimated resource needs, followed by target specification definition, bench‑ and pilot‑scale testing and commercialization evaluation, with each party responsible for its own costs.
Operationally Bradda Head will assess feedstock and processing pathways from its US projects while Tyfast will lead material qualification and performance testing of lithium for its LVO anode, which the parties position as delivering rapid charge, multi‑thousand‑cycle durability and cold‑temperature fast‑charge capability for mining, construction, trucking and defence use‑cases.
"Lithium is the other half of the equation for our LVO anode," said GJ la O', CEO of Tyfast Energy.
