A mineral exploration company has struck a deal with Rodda’s to look for viable sites on the Cornish clotted cream producer’s land where geothermal lithium and heat could be developed on a commercial basis.
Cornish Lithium will be responsible for designing and drilling a small research borehole as well as obtaining the required planning consents and permits.
The firm said if the project was found to be viable, Rodda’s could use any resulting renewable geothermal heat to potentially decarbonise production processes at its Scorrier-based creamery, near Redruth.
