Mission & Goals
Savannah Resources Plc is the sole owner of the Barroso Lithium Project, in northern Portugal. The Project contains the most significant spodumene lithium resource in Europe and was classified as a 'Strategic Project' by the European Commission under the CRMA in March 2025. The Project received a positive Environmental Impact Assessment from Portugal's environmental regulator in May 2023 and a Definitive Feasibility Study is currently underway following a positive Scoping Study in June 2023. Developing and operating the Barroso Project will establish Savannah, and Portugal, as an integral part of Europe’s rapidly growing lithium battery value chain which is being established to support Europe’s energy transition as it moves towards its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. The Barroso Project will produce enough lithium each year for approximately 0.5 million electric vehicle battery packs.
