After eighteen months of geological validation, regulatory work, and platform development, MTAL is proud to announce the public launch of Project Lithio — our first fully tokenised lithium mining venture. The project targets a high-grade spodumene deposit in the Puna Plateau region of northwest Argentina, an area our GeoScan AI flagged as high-priority in early 2024.
The tokenisation layer is now live on the MTAL platform. Security token holders gain a fractional economic stake in the project, proportional returns distributed quarterly via smart contract, and full on-chain visibility into capital deployment and operational milestones. This is not a futures product or a speculative instrument — it is direct, auditable participation in a real mining operation.
The AI survey work that underpinned this project identified a resource estimate of 2.1 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent, validated by independent geological review. Our extraction model projects first concentrate production in Q4 2026, with the processing facility currently under procurement. Project Lithio represents the full MTAL stack in action — AI discovery, on-chain funding, and OptiMine-optimised extraction from day one.
Tokens for Project Lithio are available in the current raise window. We are targeting $38M in total funding, with 61% committed as of this announcement. The raise closes once the target is reached or at the end of the offering period, whichever comes first. Visit the platform for full project documentation, geological reports, and token terms. +++
