Pilbara Minerals, Australia’s biggest independent lithium producer, on Friday laid out a A$1.2 billion plan to double production capacity for lithium spodumene at its Pilgangoora operation in Western Australia.
The expansion would require Pilbara Minerals to build a new flotation plant for extracting lithium from the spodumene that would be adjacent to an existing flotation plant to constrain costs. The plan is being laid out as Pilbara keeps its options open for future production amid low prices for the battery material.
The demonstration plant will trial electric calciner technology to make a lithium phosphate product containing 18% lithium, up from 5% to 6% contained lithium in spodumene. Pilbara earlier this year agreed to a study with China’s Ganfeng Lithium on options to build a 32,000 metric-ton-per-year lithium conversion facility.
