What is the Mozambique hard rock Lithium Project?

The Mozambique Hard Rock Lithium Project is in the grassroots phase and forms part of a 170 km long belt within the Alto Ligonha Pegmatite Field in northern Mozambique. It consists of 6 licences and the project area is known to contain several large sodalithic-type (LCT) pegmatites, which may contain lithium mineralisation.
