Keliber Technology, a subsidiary of the mining firm Sibanye-Stillwater, has secured a $556 million loan, the last piece of financing needed to build a lithium mine and chemical plant in Finland.

The facility will use Metso technology that extracts lithium from ore using sodium carbonate instead of sulfuric acid and eliminates sulfate waste.
