Pilbara board OKs A$214m Pilgangoora lithium mine

The board of lithium developer Pilbara Minerals has taken a final investment decision on the A$214-million Pilgangoora lithium/tantalum project, in Western Australia, with first spodumene and tantalite concentrate shipments scheduled for the second quarter of 2018.

“This is huge milestone, which marks the beginning of Pilbara’s transformation into a leading global lithium producer. The final investment decision follows hard on the heels of our recent successful fundraising, reflecting our determination to deliver the Pilgangoora project as quickly as possible,” said Pilbara MD Ken Brinsden on Friday.
