Profile

Stardust Power Inc.SDSTMaterials

Plans to buy aqueous lithium-chloride feedstock, convert it into battery-grade lithium carbonate in Oklahoma, and sell the output to battery, defense and equipment customers. The pre-revenue business rests on developing and financing one refinery rather than operating a captive mine.

Plans to convert third-party aqueous lithium-chloride feedstock into battery-grade lithium carbonate at a refinery in Muskogee, Oklahoma. The intended output would serve battery manufacturers, defense users and Western equipment makers; the company is a converter rather than a lithium miner.

Builds a U.S.-centered supply chain around external brine producers, site infrastructure and future customer qualification. Its disclosed commercial frameworks cover feedstock, project financing and offtake, while the refinery remains in development and has not produced material or generated revenue.

Executes engineering, permitting, utility planning and site-readiness work for a single refinery project. Commercial operation depends on final investment, construction funding, definitive feedstock and offtake contracts, utility infrastructure, and compliance with construction and environmental permit conditions.
