LithiumTantalum
Opened
2016-01-01
Workforce
Approximately 140 people (supported by NRW Holdings contract).
Overview
The Mt Cattlin mine is a spodumene-tantalum operation located approximately 2 kilometres north of Ravensthorpe. Initial construction began in November 2009, with mining activities starting in late 2016. The operation was previously on care and maintenance between 2013 and 2016.
Production
2023 financial year production guidance: approximately 140,000-150,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate. Proven and probable mineral reserves (June 2023): 7.1 million tonnes grading 1.2% lithium oxide (Li₂O) and 120ppm tantalum pentoxide (Ta₂O₅).
Processing
Multi-stage circuit involving a single-toggle jaw crusher, secondary cone crusher, and tertiary crushers. Processed through a Dense Medium Separation (DMS) gravity recovery circuit, including coarse and fines spiral concentrators, and a Wilfley Shaker table for tantalite separation. A TOMRA PRO Secondary Laser sorter was installed in September 2021 to remove waste before the wet plant and DMS.
Equipment
Mining fleet includes 360t excavators, 140t and 90t trucks, water carts, a blasthole drill rig, and mobile power units. NRW Holdings contract uses 200-250 tonne class excavators and 150 tonne class trucks.
Expansion
Planned to be placed on care and maintenance by the end of the first half of 2025 due to a decline in spodumene prices. Arcadium Lithium will suspend Stage 4A waste stripping and expansionary investment beyond Stage 3. The company will continue to explore the viability of underground mining to potentially extend the mine life.

Production
In 2023, produced 22,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate. Initial production capacity of 20,000 tonnes per year of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). Expansion aims to increase capacity to 40,000 tonnes per year LCE, with future plans to reach approximately 100,000 tonnes per year by 2030.
Processing
Utilises a proprietary selective adsorption direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology to produce lithium carbonate from high-quality lithium brine. The process involves pumping brine and transferring it to an evaporation pond system for concentration and purification, removing other minerals. The resulting lithium chloride brine is then routed to the processing plant for lithium carbonate extraction.
Equipment
Proprietary selective adsorption direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology. Infrastructure includes an airstrip, a 135 km long natural gas pipeline, and water wells.
Expansion
Currently undergoing a multi-phased expansion to significantly increase production capacity. Aims to increase capacity to 40,000 tonnes per year LCE, with future plans to reach approximately 100,000 tonnes per year by 2030. The first phase of a 10,000 metric ton expansion was completed in May 2024.
