The location is proximate to the Hualapai tribe's Cholla Canyon Ranch and the nearby Cofer Hot Springs, considered sacred to the tribe.[4] In 2021, the American Institute for Economic Research stated that the planned development of the mine would destroy the springs.[5] In October 2022, Arizona Lithium signed an informal agreement with Cemvita Factory to use their Tempe, Arizona production facility to process lithium.[6] In December 2022, the company formed a partnership with the Navajo Nation's Navajo Transitional Energy Company to collaborate on the mine.[7]

In December 2022, the company offered to buy Saskatchewan-based Canadian company Prairie Lithium.[8]
