- Green Shift Commodities Ltd. (TSXV: GCOM) is a Canada-based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of commodities critical for clean energy and net-zero goals, including lithium; uranium; nickel; phosphate; vanadium; and rare earth elements such as neodymium. The company holds interests in the Armstrong lithium project, comprising 90 contiguous claims covering approximately 1,800 hectares in Ontario's Seymour-Crescent-Falcon lithium belt, known for spodumene-bearing pegmatites; the Berlin deposit in Colombia, which contains uranium for nuclear energy alongside battery minerals like nickel for lithium-ion batteries, phosphate for LFP batteries, vanadium for redox flow batteries, and neodymium for electric motors and wind turbines; and formerly held the Rio Negro lithium project in Argentina spanning roughly 500,000 hectares across Chubut, Rio Negro, and Neuquén provinces, now sold with retained exposure via shares in the buyer. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Green Shift operates primarily in Canada and South America, targeting battery metals and clean energy minerals for electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and nuclear power applications. In June 2024, the company closed the final tranche of a private placement and entered a definitive agreement to sell its Argentina lithium assets to Lion Electric, retaining upside through Lion shares while refocusing exploration expenditures; it also closed a private placement and sold its Berlin royalty interest earlier that month, adding to its portfolio of public company shares; prior developments include signing an MOU with Whitesand First Nation for the Armstrong project in October 2023 and closing its acquisition in September 2023. The company, formerly U3O8 Corp., rebranded to Green Shift Commodities Ltd. in October 2022 to reflect its expanded focus on green commodities.
