Core Lithium is an Australian lithium producer and explorer focused on developing its Finniss Lithium Project in the Northern Territory. While not directly involved in building space hardware, Core Lithium utilizes space-based mineral exploration services, specifically Fleet Space Technologies' ExoSphere system, to accelerate lithium discovery. This technology employs satellites and ground-based sensors to generate 3D subsurface images, helping Core Lithium identify drilling targets and expand its lithium resources for electric vehicle and renewable energy storage applications. The company's activities are aligned with the global transition to clean-air mobility, using space technology to enhance mineral exploration.
