Following the acquisition in February 2025, Pilbara Minerals is working with the former Latin Resources in-country team.
Overview
The Colina Project is a significant hard-rock lithium asset in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and is considered one of the world's best undeveloped lithium projects. A Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) update by former owner Latin Resources on 30 May 2024 increased the global MRE for the Salinas Project (Colina and Fog's Block deposits) to 77.7 million tonnes at 1.24% Li2O. The Colina Deposit itself is estimated to contain 70.9 million tonnes at 1.25% Li2O. An impressive 95% of the Colina Deposit's resource, totalling 67.27 million tonnes at 1.27% Li2O, was upgraded to the higher-confidence Measured and Indicated JORC categories, providing a solid basis for the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS). The resource upgrade is expected to positively impact project economics and support a longer mine life.
Production
Production overview - 2024: lithium 77700000 t.
Processing
A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) completed in 2023 outlined a two-phase development for a standalone processing facility. The plan involves an initial throughput of 1.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), with provisions to expand to 3.6 Mtpa. The plant is designed to produce a high-quality 5.5% Li2O spodumene concentrate (SC5.5) and a 3% Li2O spodumene tailings concentrate product (SC3) using Dense Media Separation (DMS). Pilbara Minerals is now working to optimise the project flowsheet and design, incorporating learnings from its Pilgangoora Operation in Australia. A DFS, which was being managed by Sedgman, was expected to be released in the third quarter of 2024 prior to the acquisition.
Expansion
Pilbara Minerals plans to undertake further exploration to expand the deposit, test new prospects, and infill the existing Mineral Resource. Latin Resources had been conducting drilling at the Planalto Prospect, located less than two kilometres from the proposed Colina processing infrastructure, with the aim of generating a maiden resource for this area.
