📣 Breaking news! 📣 We’re proud to announce Covalent Lithium Pty Ltd's world-class mine and concentrator are officially open and ramping up lithium production in Western Australia. To commemorate the major milestone, the Premier of Western Australia, the Hon Roger Cook MLA, will be joining Wesfarmers Managing Director and CEO Rob Scott and SQM CEO Ricardo Ramos for an opening ceremony today at Mount Holland, located around 400 kilometres east of Perth. The opening ceremony marks a major milestone for the Covalent Lithium Pty Ltd and Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy & Fertilisers’ teams. In just four years, the teams have transformed a greenfields site into a world-leading lithium operation, which is on track to deliver 100,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate this financial year. The commissioning brings Covalent Lithium Pty Ltd a step closer to becoming a fully-integrated producer of premium, battery-grade lithium hydroxide for the global electric vehicle market. That vision will be realised when construction of the refinery, located in Kwinana near Perth, is completed and first lithium hydroxide sales are achieved in FY2024/25.
