Cornish Lithium, a pioneering mineral exploration and development company based in Cornwall, is the latest patron member of the Cornwall Mining and Geo-Resources Alliance (CMGA).

Cornish Lithium is at the forefront of building a sustainable domestic supply chain for vital battery materials in the UK, using innovative technologies to responsibly extract lithium – a critical mineral for electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and other key clean-energy applications. Based in Penryn and operating across historic mining districts in Cornwall, the company’s efforts reflect both a revival of the region’s rich industrial heritage and a strategic contribution to national resilience in a shifting global economy.

By joining CMGA as a patron, Cornish Lithium strengthens the Alliance’s voice in promoting the critical minerals sector in the South West – an industry that underpins future UK manufacturing and energy technologies. Their membership amplifies shared goals around collaboration, innovation, and the responsible development of Cornwall’s mineral resources.

Speaking on this new partnership, Jeremy Wrathall, founder and CEO of Cornish Lithium, said:
“Cornish Lithium is delighted to support the CMGA by joining as a corporate patron. We regard the CMGA as a powerful voice for the critical minerals industry in Cornwall and fully support its work to highlight the opportunity to build domestic supply chains for minerals, such as lithium, tin and tungsten for UK industry. In an increasingly uncertain geopolitical landscape Cornwall has a unique opportunity to revive its industrial heritage and once again become a powerhouse underpinning British industry.”
