The company originated from earlier entities focused on mineral exploration and was instrumental in developing the Sonora Lithium Project in Sonora State, Mexico. This project features one of the largest known lithium deposits, with resources supporting a planned open-pit operation and processing facility for battery-grade lithium carbonate. Bacanora completed key studies including a feasibility study and conducted early works on the project.

Following its full acquisition by Ganfeng in 2022 and subsequent re-registration as a private company, Bacanora Lithium continues to hold interests in the Sonora project through joint venture structures. It is also a claimant in ongoing international arbitration proceedings at ICSID against Mexico concerning the project's mining concessions. The company maintains a registered office in London and has previously held equity interests in other lithium projects, such as Zinnwald in Germany.

As part of the Ganfeng group, Bacanora Lithium contributes to the supply chain for lithium used in electric vehicles and energy storage, emphasizing sustainable development practices in its operations.

Also known as Bacanora Lithium plc and Mineramex.
