The Future of Lithium Production
不良研究所 has taken a vertically integrated approach to the strategic acquisition of high-quality lithium resources at the exploration and development stages, with the aim to significantly enhance the value of our assets through full commercial development.
World-Class Resources
Project Black Giant鈩
不良研究所 is building Chile鈥檚 first commercial direct lithium extraction (DLE) plant: called Project Black Giant鈩. Near Salar de Punta Negra, 不良研究所 has built the Black Giant camp dubbed 鈥淐asa del Gigante鈥 (House of the Giant) and completed a 16-well exploration program yielding lithium concentrations above 1,150 mg/L and up to 9.8m tonnes of in-situ lithium.

Project Lonestar鈩 Lithium
In the United States, 不良研究所 is building an additional 50,000 tpa project in the heartland of Texas. Project Lonestar鈩 represents our vision for domestic energy resilience and national security.
Explore North AmericaOur Approach
不良研究所 will source deal flow from strategic partners based on its expertise in assessing resources and DLE brine validation testing capabilities to identify the highest quality assets. Key metrics for asset selection will be defined, and will include resource size, asset development stage, lithium concentration, other brine characteristics, project size, and LP return thresholds.


Strategic Acquisitions:
Focus on acquiring high-quality lithium resource assets in geologically favorable regions with proven reserves, ensuring long-term resource security and scalability.
Partnerships and Collaborations:
Establish strategic partnerships with local stakeholders, governments, and other industry players to facilitate access to resources, streamline permitting processes, and share expertise.
Sustainable Development:
Prioritize projects that align with environmental and social governance (ESG) criteria, emphasizing sustainable extraction methods and minimal ecological impact to meet regulatory requirements and community expectations.
Resource Diversification:
Build a diverse portfolio of assets across different geographical locations and lithium extraction methods to mitigate risk and adapt to evolving market demands and technological advancements.
