LIONTOWN RESOURCES HAS OFFICIALLY OPENED ITS KATHLEEN VALLEY LITHIUM MINE, MARKING A MAJOR MILESTONE FOR AUSTRALIA'S CRITICAL MINERALS FUTURE.

- 

Western Australia recently celebrated Liontown Resources officially opening its Kathleen Valley lithium mine.

The landmark event marked not only the commissioning of the nation's first underground lithium mine, but also a major milestone in Australia's critical minerals journey as demand for battery materials continues to increase globally.

Located 60km north of Leinster and 680km from Perth, the Kathleen Valley project is backed by a mineral resource estimate of 156 million tonnes, with over 80 per cent classified as measured or indicated.

With an expected mine life of 23 years and a planned production rate of 500,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate per annum, the operation is a vital addition to Australia's lithium supply chain.
