Lithium hopeful ioneer’s (ASX: INR) path to production is nearing with the company appointing French-owned Veolia Water Technologies to work on the final engineering design and equipment package for its Rhyolite Ridge project in the United States.
The company noted the contract with Veolia is the largest single contract it will issue in developing its wholly-owned Rhyolite Ridge lithium-boron asset in Nevada.

Rhyolite is the only known lithium-boron deposit in North America and one of only two known such deposits in the world.
The Veolia deal will cover evaporation, crystallisation and dewatering equipment.
A definitive feasibility study completed in 2020 “confirmed Rhyolite Ridge as a world-class lithium and boron project that is expected to become a globally significant, long-life, low-cost source of lithium and boron vital to a sustainable future,” the company says.
