The company’s activities span exploration, mining, mineral processing, and lithium chemical production to supply the European battery materials value chain. Keliber is majority-owned by Sibanye-Stillwater, with Finnish Minerals Group among its minority investors. The project emphasizes short, transparent supply routes within Europe and is progressing through established permitting frameworks in Finland.
