Under Development
LithiumTantalumRare Earth Elements
Overview
The project consists of 17 tenements and is located adjacent to Delta Lithium's Yinnetharra Lithium Project. Following the acquisition, the Aston Project tenements have been incorporated into the larger Yinnetharra project, expanding Delta's total landholding in the region to over 3,100 square kilometres. The project is considered highly prospective, and Delta Lithium plans to conduct systematic geochemical sampling, mapping, and geophysical surveys.

Yinnetharra Lithium Project

Western Australia, Australia · Open Pit

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

Western Australia, Australia · Open Pit

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.
