ioneer Ltd. is a mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its flagship Rhyolite Ridge lithium-boron project in Nevada. The company’s core business activities center on developing a vertically integrated supply of critical battery minerals, including lithium carbonate and boric acid, to support the growing electric vehicle and energy storage markets. ioneer’s Rhyolite Ridge project is one of the only known deposits globally that contains both lithium and boron in economically recoverable concentrations, positioning the company to deliver a differentiated product to downstream battery and industrial users.
Founded and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in the late 2010s under its original name, the company rebranded to ioneer in 2018 to reflect a strategic focus on innovation in battery metals. In early 2022, ioneer completed a business combination that enabled its shares to trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker IONR, providing broader access to U.S. capital markets. Since then, the company has progressed through feasibility, permitting and engineering studies, securing key environmental and mining permits and engaging with local and federal agencies to advance the project toward construction and first production.
Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with corporate offices in Perth, Australia, ioneer draws on a management team with extensive experience in mining development, project financing and chemical processing. The leadership team is led by CEO Simon Kidston, who brings more than two decades of project development and corporate strategy expertise. As the company moves toward commercial-scale operations, it continues to engage with offtake partners and stakeholders across North America and Asia to establish long-term supply agreements for its lithium-boron product suite.
