Description
In May 2024, Element Resources announced the signing of a surface lease agreement with Rio Tinto at the Rio Tinto U.S. Borax mine site in Boron, California, which will be used for the development of a green hydrogen production facility powered by a dedicated, co-located off-grid solar electric generation facility.
Element Resources will have an initial study period to evaluate the commercial viability of a hydrogen production facility.
