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.’
