Rapid Lithium Limited (ASX:RLL)

Highly prospective hard rock lithium projects.

About Us

Rapid Lithium (formerly Armada Metals) is an Australian-listed lithium exploration and development company focused on advancing high-grade hard-rock lithium projects within the USA’s premier spodumene-producing district in South Dakota.

Through its recent acquisitions of Midwest Lithium and New Energy Inc., a subsidiary of Patriot Lithium, Rapid Lithium has secured significant interests in strategic land holdings, including the Keystone and Tinton West Projects. These projects span over 23,000 acres in the Black Hills region, known for hosting some of the world’s largest lithium-bearing pegmatites.

With a drill-ready portfolio and robust infrastructure, Rapid Lithium is poised to deliver on its commitment to meeting global demand for sustainable energy resources. By fostering local partnerships and adhering to responsible exploration practices, Rapid Lithium aims to support the transition to a cleaner, lithium-powered future.

Company Overview

Established in 2021, Rapid Lithium Limited, formerly known as Armada Metals Limited, has strategically positioned itself in the critical minerals sector by targeting lithium-rich regions in the United States. The company's flagship project encompasses a substantial landholding in the Black Hills of South Dakota, an area historically recognised for its mineral wealth. By securing 1,098 unpatented lode mining claims over 93 square kilometres, along with options for additional patented claims, Rapid Lithium is committed to advancing its exploration efforts to identify and develop significant lithium resources.

In addition to its primary focus on lithium, the company maintains interests in other mineral projects. The Nyanga Project in southern Gabon covers approximately 2,725 square kilometres along the Congo Craton margin, presenting a belt-scale, multi-project opportunity. Furthermore, the Bend Nickel Project in Zimbabwe, encompassing around 12 square kilometres, includes the historically drilled Bend Nickel Deposit. These diversified assets position Rapid Lithium to capitalize on the increasing global demand for critical minerals essential to modern technologies and energy solutions.
