In this episode we sit down with Jeremy Wrathall, Executive Chairman and Founder of Cornish Lithium, to explore the future of Britain's critical mineral independence. As the UK accelerates its transition to electric vehicles, the need to source domestic lithium supply has never been more urgent.

In this highly insightful podcast Jeremy explains why local sourcing matters - not just for the automotive sector, but for national resilience and clean energy goals.

We dive into the groundbreaking Trelavour Hard Rock Project, the commissioning of their Demonstration Plant and how securing intellectual property has giving Cornish Lithium a competitive edge.

There's even mention of Trump, China and JLR!
