Liontown delivers at Kathleen Valley

Liontown Resources (ASX: LTR) reports first underground development ore mined and first spodumene concentrate delivered to port at its Kathleen Valley lithium project in WA.

Since the commencement of underground operations at Mt Mann in November 2023, more than 4,000 development metres have been advanced.

The 145t of spodumene concentrate delivered to the Port of Geraldton in WA, will be stockpiled at Qube’s dedicated storage shed ahead of first shipment planned for later this quarter.

Liontown managing director and chief executive Tony Ottaviano says this rapid progression underscores the momentum Liontown is building as it transitions from construction to production.

“Just a week after achieving first production, the first truckload of spodumene concentrate has been successfully dispatched to Geraldton Port,” he said.

“Additionally, hitting our first development ore milestone at Mt Mann demonstrates our continued operational success and strengthens our position as a leading emerging global supplier of battery minerals.

“We look forward to advancing our long-term strategy and supporting the transition to a low-carbon future.”
