Trappelberg Well Site

Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany · Underground

Under Development
Lithium
Overview
The Lionheart Project, operated by Vulcan Energy Resources in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, involves two drilling sites, Trappelberg and Schleidberg. It aims to produce lithium from geothermal brine in the Upper Rhine Valley, alongside renewable geothermal energy for heating and power. The project is supported by German government and European Investment Bank funding.
Production
The overall Lionheart Project targets an annual production of up to 24,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide monohydrate, sufficient for approximately 500,000 electric vehicle batteries. It also aims to generate 275 GWh of electricity and 560 GWh of heat per year. Commercial production is planned to start in 2028.
Processing
Extracted lithium chloride will be processed into battery-quality lithium hydroxide monohydrate at a central plant in Frankfurt.
Equipment
The project uses V20 and V10 electric drilling rigs. The V20 rig has 2500 horsepower, a 550 tonne hook load capacity, and a 7500 psi fluid pressure system.

Iron Ore (Magnetite)
Overview
The mine consists of several open-cut workings, primarily the North, Central, and South pits. Mining activities in 2025 were focused on ore production from Centre Pit and waste stripping at North Pit. A definitive feasibility study has been completed to transition the North Pit from an opencut to an underground block cave and sublevel cave mine. This development is expected to commence in early 2026, with the first ore anticipated between late 2028 and mid-2029.
