Barroso Lithium Project
Europe's Largest Spodumene Lithium Resource
View project — Savannah ResourcesThe Barroso Lithium Project in northern Portugal represents one of Slipstream's most significant outcomes. The project was identified and acquired by the Slipstream team based on an assessment of the regional geology and recognising that Europe would require a reliable upstream supply of battery-grade lithium.
Following acquisition, the project was vended to Savannah Resources, where Dale Ferguson served as both Technical Director and Managing Director, leading the exploration and resource definition programs, as well as successfully leading the company through the Portuguese Government's stringent regulatory requirements, that have resulted in Barroso becoming Europe's largest spodumene lithium resource.
Barroso is now in the advanced development stage, with a Definitive Feasibility Study due to be completed in 2026, with first production scheduled for 2028. The project is positioned as a strategic European source of battery-grade lithium for EV supply chains.
