PLS and Calix have formally approved the resumption of the Mid-Stream Demonstration Plant Project after being awarded a $15 million grant from the State Government.
The project will resume at PLS’ Pilgangoora lithium operation in the Pilbara after it was temporarily paused in October 2024 following challenging lithium market conditions.
PLS Managing Director and CEO Dale Henderson said he was pleased to see construction of the innovative project resume.
“Thanks to the WA Government we are able to complete construction of the Mid-Stream Demonstration Project which has the potential to be a game-changer for the hard rock lithium processing industry,” Mr Henderson said.
“This technology could create additional local jobs in Western Australia while producing a higher-value, lithium-enriched product at the mine site. This more concentrated product reduces transport volumes to our customers and ensures more value is captured onshore for Australia.”
