?? APN 228-390-11-006 | 213 Acres | Boron, CA Unlock potential in the heart of California’s mining and energy corridor with this 213-acre parcel strategically located directly behind Rio Tinto’s world-renowned Boron Mine—North America’s largest open-pit borate mine. This expansive landholding offers flat to gently rolling terrain, ideal for industrial, renewable energy, or mining support development. Zoned in unincorporated Kern County with favorable proximity to Hwy 58, rail lines, and utility corridors. No current structures or utilities on-site—prime for solar, lithium infrastructure, or future speculative investment. The surrounding region is experiencing transformative growth. In 2023, Rio Tinto’s Boron Mine became the first globally to operate 100% on renewable diesel, slashing emissions by 45,000 tons/year. Adjacent to the mine, a pilot lithium plant is extracting battery-grade lithium from mining waste—with expansion plans targeting 5,000 tons/year production. Globally, Rio Tinto is rapidly scaling its lithium portfolio, including a $2.5B investment to expand Argentina’s Rincon project to 60,000 TPA, a 49.99% stake in Chile’s Maricunga Salar with Codelco, and partnerships to produce lithium in Serbia and Chile using direct extraction technologies. These moves position Rio Tinto as the world’s 3rd-largest lithium producer (post-Arcadium acquisition), accelerating demand and value in Boron’s critical mineral zone. A rare opportunity to secure land adjacent to a global clean-energy hub. Ideal for visionary developers, industrial operators, or resource-aligned investors.
