McDermitt is home to North America’s largest lithium deposit, a critical resource America needs for technology and national security. We are unlocking this key lithium supply, so we can stop importing it all from other countries. This project is one of the largest single investments in rural Oregon – worth $3 billion – and will benefit the McDermitt community, the state and our nation for generations to come.
About Us
HiTech Minerals is a growing American company, and our team has experience developing first-class projects around the world. We know how to align our work with the community, and we have the technical expertise to do it right over the long term.
Exploring the Potential
Our focus right now is on gathering more information – cultural, environmental and scientific – to make the best possible decisions going forward. We are starting to collect samples and plan our next steps.
Community Voices
We understand working alongside the community, including Tribal groups, is essential to our shared success. We want to hear from McDermitt residents on the benefits you would like to see from this project. Please email community@mcdermittlithium.com with any comments or questions.
Responsible Stewardship
We are doing everything we can to be good stewards of the land and animal habitat over the next several decades, including:
- Keeping as much open space as possible.
- Minimizing, where possible, the overall impact on the land.
- Limiting activity during the exploration phase to five months a year to minimize environmental impacts.
- Restoring land after the work is completed.
