On September 18, Chile celebrates Fiestas Patrias, a vibrant national holiday that commemorates the country's independence and showcases the rich diversity and traditions of Chilean culture. We take this opportunity to honour our Chilean Joint Venture Partner, Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM), the world’s largest lithium producer, for their invaluable contributions and wealth of technical expertise in lithium chemical refining processes. We warmly wish our Chilean team members at Covalent Lithium and the team at SQM a joyous Fiestas Patrias! Carolina Valdes, Laboratory Technician at Covalent Lithium shares the personal significance of this day: “Historically, it marks a key process in the birth of the Republic of Chile, a victory that undoubtedly couldn’t have been achieved without years of struggle and battles against the Spanish forces. For me and my family, it’s a feeling of loyalty and love, where we celebrate the preservation of our culture and national history.” Pictured: Mauricio Olivares, Operations & Project Vice-President at SQM, and Juan Canales, Manager Process Technology & Innovation at Covalent Lithium. #FiestasPatrias #ChileanIndependenceDay #SQM

This weekend, Covalent Lithium attended the Yilgarn Agricultural Show in sunny Southern Cross. As a sponsor of the event, we valued the opportunity to connect with local communities in the Shire of Yilgarn and surrounding areas near our Mt Holland mine and concentrator. It was a fantastic day of family fun and sharing our progress as we develop our fully integrated lithium mining and refining operations. We’re looking forward to coming back next year! #covalentlithium #community #miningandrefining

Today, on April 25th, we honour Anzac Day, marking the day when Australian and New Zealand soldiers landed on Gallipoli in 1915 as part of the Allied invasion. We reflect upon the courage and sacrifice of over 1.5 million Australian service men and women who have served our country in all conflicts, wars, and peacekeeping operations, and we honour the veterans who are valued members of our team at Covalent Lithium. Early this morning, our teams gathered for commemorative Dawn Services at our Mt Holland site and at our Kwinana Refinery. Peter Firth, veteran and General Manager Health, Safety, Environment and Communities says, “Anzac Day is important to me because it is an opportunity to reflect on the past. I remember my parents and grandparents who have passed away after serving our country, giving my family and I the opportunity to live in Australia with the standards we have today.” Sue Stokes, veteran and Administrative Services Manager also reflects on today’s significance, “Anzac Day is important to me as this is the day that we collectively remember those veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice, returned home, and those who have and are facing physical and/or mental challenges as a result of their service.” Let us stand united in remembrance. #LestWeForget #ANZACDay #ANZACSpirit #Remembrance

💡 When vision becomes reality 🎯 Sharing a behind-the-scenes video of the recent Covalent Lithium Pty Ltd Mt Holland mine and concentrator opening. The Mt Holland project demonstrates how Wesfarmers' chemicals and engineering expertise, combined with the deep technical capabilities of SQM, has delivered a world-class, safe, reliable and high-quality lithium mine and concentrator in Western Australia. Once complete, and integrated with a refinery under construction in Kwinana, Covalent Lithium will be one of Australia’s few fully integrated mine, concentrator and refining lithium operations. Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy & Fertilisers would like to thank and acknowledge the Marlinyu Ghoorlie people as well as all of the team members, contractors, suppliers, government and industry partners and supporters who helped Covalent Lithium reach this milestone. See the operation and opening in action and hear from Hon Roger Cook MLA Premier of Western Australia in our video.   #Lithium #CriticalMinerals #CleanEnergyTransition #People #Vision #Mining #Refining

It was a privilege to welcome so many guests to the opening ceremony of the Covalent Lithium Pty Ltd mine and concentrator at Mount Holland today, including the Premier of WA, the Hon Roger Cook MLA, Deputy Premier, the Hon Rita Saffioti MLA, Minister for Mines and Petroleum, the Hon David Michael MLA, Wesfarmers Board members and Managing Director Rob Scott, SQM CEO Ricardo Ramos, traditional landowners, SHIRE OF YILGARN councillors, The Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia Chief Executive Rebecca Tomkinson and many more.

The operation will create jobs, support economic growth in Western Australia and assist the global transition to a clean energy future.   Now that’s worth celebrating! 🎉 #Lithium #CriticalMinerals #CleanEnergyTransition #Sustainability #EconomicDevelopment #WesternAustralia
