Mt Holland Lithium Project

Western Australia, Australia · Open Pit

Operating
Lithium
Mine life
50 years
Workforce
350 during operations. A mining services contract requires 220 employees to support the ramp-up of production.
Overview
The project is an integrated operation that includes a mine and concentrator at Mt Holland and a lithium hydroxide refinery in Kwinana.
Production
The mine and concentrator are designed to produce 380,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate per year. This concentrate will be processed at the Kwinana refinery to produce approximately 50,000 tonnes of battery-quality lithium hydroxide annually. First ore was mined in December 2022, and the concentrator was commissioned in the second half of 2023. The first production of lithium hydroxide is expected in early 2025.
Processing
The project is an integrated operation that includes a mine and concentrator at Mt Holland and a lithium hydroxide refinery in Kwinana. The concentrator processes spodumene ore to produce spodumene concentrate. The processing plant includes primary and secondary crushing, a high-pressure grinding roller (HPGR), dense media separation (DMS), grinding and classification, magnetic separation, and froth flotation. The concentrator is designed to process approximately 2 million tonnes of ore per year.
Equipment
Mining operations are conducted by contractors. Thiess delivers drill and blast services, mining of overburden and ore, and equipment maintenance. Iron Mine Contracting provides drill, blast, load and haul, and run-of-mine management services. The operation will be serviced by contractor-owned and operated drill and blast, as well as load and haul equipment, including excavators and haul trucks.
Expansion
A feasibility study is underway to evaluate doubling the production capacity of the mine and concentrator. Covalent is seeking approval to expand the processing capacity from 2 to 4 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa).

Workforce
350 during operations
Production
The mine and concentrator will produce 380,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate per year, which will be refined into 50,000 tonnes of battery-quality lithium hydroxide annually. The first ore was mined in December 2022, and the concentrator was commissioned in the second half of 2023, and is now in a ramp-up phase. The Kwinana refinery is expected to deliver its first lithium hydroxide in early 2025. Wesfarmers' share of spodumene concentrate production for the 2024 financial year is expected to be approximately 50,000 tonnes.
Processing
The project consists of an open-cut mine and a concentrator. The processing circuit includes primary and secondary crushing, a coarse ore stockpile, tertiary crushing with a High Pressure Grinding Roller (HPGR), Dense Media Separation (DMS), grinding and classification, magnetic separation, froth flotation, and concentrate thickening and filtration. The spodumene concentrate will be transported to a refinery in Kwinana to be processed into battery-quality lithium hydroxide.
Expansion

Western Australia, Australia · Open Pit

Feasibility
LithiumTantalumCobalt
Overview
The Bolt Cutter project is an early-stage greenfields exploration project located approximately 10 kilometres west of Wildcat Resources' Tabba Tabba Lithium-Tantalum Project in the Pilbara region. Recent exploration has focused on the 'Bolt Cutter Central' discovery, which consists of swarms of lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite dykes.
Equipment
Reverse Circulation and Diamond drilling program
Expansion
Extensive drilling has significantly expanded the known mineralisation, defining the lithium-bearing pegmatite system over more than 2 kilometres in a north-westerly orientation and up to 800 metres in a north-easterly orientation. The system remains open in most directions. Further RC drilling is planned for Q1 2026 to step out and infill the discovery area in preparation for a maiden Mineral Resource estimate.

Feasibility
LithiumTantalum
Overview
The Yinnetharra Lithium Project is located in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia, targeting lithium and tantalum. Metallurgical test work has achieved a saleable SC6 concentrate, and geotechnical and metallurgical studies have been completed to a DFS level on the M1 pegmatite.
Processing
Metallurgical test work has achieved a saleable SC6 concentrate. Geotechnical and metallurgical studies have been completed to a DFS level on the M1 pegmatite.
Equipment
As of June 2024, two drill rigs were operating at the Malinda prospect and one rig at the Jameson prospect. A Reverse Circulation (RC) drill rig was mobilising to the site in October 2025.
Expansion
A maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) was released in December 2023, followed by an updated MRE in March 2025 with 21.9Mt @ 1.0% Li2O and 39.4Mt @ 102ppm Ta2O5. The project's landholding was expanded to over 3,100km² through the acquisition of the Mortimer Hills and Aston Projects. A mining lease application for the Malinda area was submitted in November 2024. Environmental and heritage surveys have been completed over the Malinda area. Ongoing exploration includes a multi-rig campaign throughout 2024 and a Phase 1 RC program at the Jameson Prospect in late 2025.

Mt Ida Lithium Project

Under Development
LithiumTantalum
Mine life
10 years
Overview
The Mt Ida project is situated in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia, approximately 100 kilometres north-west of Menzies. It is fully permitted for both open pit and underground mining operations for lithium, tantalum, and rubidium. A Feasibility Study for a lithium concentrate project is underway.
Processing
Metallurgical test work has confirmed that the Mt Ida ore can produce tantalite, mica, and spodumene concentrates through a whole-of-ore flotation flowsheet. This process has shown the potential to recover approximately 90% of the rubidium in a mica pre-float stage. Downstream testing has successfully produced a 99.8% purity battery-grade lithium carbonate product from the mica concentrate.
Expansion
The demerger of gold assets into Ballard Mining allows Delta Lithium to focus on the development of its lithium and other critical mineral assets. There is an agreement in place for the proportional sharing of costs related to any shared infrastructure between Delta Lithium and Ballard Mining. Ongoing drilling for gold by Ballard Mining is providing additional geological data for the lithium, tantalum, and rubidium resources at a low cost to Delta Lithium.
