The company was previously known as Hawkstone Mining.

Activities
The company is working on the Big Sandy lithium mine located on Bureau of Land Management land in Wikieup, Arizona.

In December 2022, the company formed a partnership with the Navajo Nation's Navajo Transitional Energy Company to collaborate on the mine.

In December 2022, the company offered to buy Saskatchewan-based Canadian company Prairie Lithium.
