Keliber is a Finnish lithium chemicals company developing an integrated mine-to-chemical operation in Central Ostrobothnia, Finland. The project is based on local spodumene deposits and includes mining and concentration near Kaustinen with downstream processing to battery-grade lithium hydroxide at a refinery site in the Kokkola Industrial Park.
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.
