We are excited to introduce a landmark opportunity that combines traditional energy with the minerals of the future. The Pachelma Project in Russia’s Penza region offers a unique dual-commodity investment — oil extraction paired with lithium recovery from formation waters. Covering over 2,755 square kilometers, this large-scale initiative provides investors with diversified revenue streams and long-term strategic value.
Why this project matters
The global transition to clean energy has made lithium one of the most sought-after resources, essential for electric vehicle batteries, energy storage, and high-tech applications. At the same time, oil remains a cornerstone of the global energy mix. By integrating both, the Pachelma Project creates a balanced portfolio — leveraging the stability of oil markets and the growth potential of lithium demand.
Geological studies confirm 880+ million tons of extractable oil reserves, while laboratory analyses of core samples reveal lithium concentrations of 180–280 mg/kg, comparable to Russia’s Kovyktinskoye field, where commercial lithium extraction is already established. This makes Pachelma one of the most promising dual-resource projects in the region.
Key project highlights
Scale: 2,755 sq. km across the Pachelma aulacogen, with four identified prospect areas.
Oil reserves: Estimated 880+ million tons across multiple formations.
Lithium potential: High lithium concentrations in formation waters, validated by historical drilling and modern seismic surveys.
Gas-condensate reserves: Additional 665 sq. km field with lithium-rich brines.
Strategic stage: Licenses for Belynskiy and Nizhnelomovskiy areas expected by September 2025.
Infrastructure: Well-developed regional transport and industrial base reduces operational complexity and costs.
Investment opportunity
The project offers two distinct entry options for investors:
Lithium-focused investment — Acquisition of a dedicated lithium license, targeting lithium recovery from formation waters and oil byproduct brines. This model offers lower initial capital requirements and direct exposure to the fast-growing lithium market.
Joint oil & lithium development — Partnership with the licensed project company, providing equipment and technology to enable combined oil and lithium production, maximizing revenue potential.
With proven reserves, multiple commodity streams, and growing demand for both oil and lithium, the Pachelma Project represents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking both stability and growth in the natural resources sector.
