Mining Joint Ventures & Critical Minerals Supply

Developing Ukrainian Lithium, Rare Earth, and Graphite Mines
Marsole forms joint ventures with local mining rights holders in Ukraine to develop high-value mineral projects including lithium, rare earth elements, and graphite. We coordinate full-cycle project development—from verifying mining licenses and exploration data to obtaining government support, securing offtake agreements, and pitching to Western mining companies. Our goal is to convert underutilized mines into investor-ready operations that meet global mineral demand.

Graphite

Business Focus:
Marsole supports the development of natural graphite mines, including spherical graphite (SPG) processing for lithium-ion battery anodes. We facilitate technology partnerships, secure government cooperation, and engage Western buyers seeking non-Chinese graphite sources.

Market Outlook:
Graphite is the dominant material for EV battery anodes. As the EU and North America reduce dependency on China (which controls over 80% of global graphite supply), Ukrainian graphite presents a strategic alternative. Demand is expected to rise sharply with the scaling of gigafactories.

Rare Earth Elements

Business Focus:
Marsole identifies rare earth-rich sites in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, securing rights through JV agreements. We collaborate with metallurgy experts and REE processors to develop extraction and separation capabilities tailored to Western market needs.

Market Outlook:
Rare earth elements (such as neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium) are essential for wind turbines, defense electronics, and EV motors. The geopolitical sensitivity of REEs has made diversification of supply chains a top priority for NATO and G7 countries, creating high-value opportunities.

Lithium

Business Focus:
Marsole partners with lithium-rich mines in Ukraine to co-develop mining operations through joint ventures. Our approach includes early-stage exploration validation, NI-compliant reporting, investor attraction, and offtake agreement structuring with global battery and EV manufacturers.

Market Outlook:
Lithium is a cornerstone of the global energy transition—essential for EV batteries, energy storage systems, and mobile electronics. Demand is projected to triple by 2030, driven by aggressive electrification targets in the U.S., EU, and China. Long-term contracts with battery producers offer stable cash flow opportunities for lithium developers.

Potash & Phosphate

Business Focus:
Marsole explores potash and phosphate mine opportunities to support global food security. We help develop export strategies to fertilizer-importing countries and support partnerships with agricultural tech providers.

Market Outlook:
The war in Ukraine has disrupted global fertilizer supply chains. Potash and phosphate are essential to agriculture, and their scarcity leads directly to food inflation. Investment in independent regional production is now supported by international institutions and development banks.
