In this episode, we chat with Ron Mitchell, MD of Global Lithium Resources who are a rapidly growing lithium exploration company with a focus on two highly prospective 100%-owned Western Australian projects - the Marble Bar Lithium Project (MBLP) in the Pilbara region and the Manna Lithium Project in the Goldfields region.

Ron is an experienced commercial, business development and sales executive with +25 years of experience in the government, manufacturing, mining, renewable/conventional energy and natural resource sectors. He has extensive global experience in the lithium, battery materials and the electric vehicle industry, developing strategic collaboration and partnership opportunities with key members of the EV and battery materials supply chain, Ron is also a founding member of the London Metal Exchange (LME) Lithium Committee and currently presides as the inaugural Chairman. He discusses Global Lithium’s two projects and how Australia is the number one jurisdiction for EV and electrification resources.

Ron is also going to be speaking at “Resourcing Tomorrow”, which is Europe's largest and most in-depth mining conference. See below for details of how to book your discounted ticket for the event.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Manna Lithium Project has an initial maiden inferred mineral resource position of close to 10 million tonnes at 1.14%
Global Lithium Resources recently acquired the remaining 20% of that project.
First production is planned for 2026.
The Pilbara exploration is yielding good results too.
Western Australia is a good jurisdiction with plenty of potential, good infrastructure, and plenty of support.
Lithium supplies are set to remain tight for at least the next 10 years, so some car manufacturers are looking at having direct agreements with mining companies.
The world needs Australia´s minerals to deliver its green targets.
When it comes to creating a better world for our children, lithium has a big role to play.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It's an advanced exploration. We have completed around 30,000 metres of RC drilling, and about 6000 metres of diamond drilling and the results are quite simply outstanding. ´

‘Here in Western Australia, we're lucky, we've got a community that's become wealthy on the back of the resource sector.’

‘The globe cannot achieve its electrification ambitions without Australia.’
