DOE/EIS-0565 — Rhyolite Ridge mine processing loan scope

Primary source

U.S. Department of Energy, NEPA

OfficialenAccessed 8 Oct 2026

DOE environmental summary explicitly confines contemplated federal loan to on-site lithium processing facilities, sulfuric acid plant and supporting infrastructure, NOT open-pit mine development/operation. The early NEPA synopsis calls the proposed borrower Rhyolite Ridge Holdings LLC; do not conflate that with the closing release's Ioneer Rhyolite Ridge LLC without legal proof.
