Core Lithium: Latest developments
Core Lithium provided updates about the most recent development efforts at the Finniss Lithium Project (Project) in the Northern Territory, on Tuesday (21 June 2022).
Subject to the successful ramp-up of the Grants open pit, DMS facility, and crusher and no additional COVID-19 or weather-related delays, the Finniss project is still on target to ship the first spodumene concentrate by the end of CY 2022.
Mining has accelerated with the start of the dry season and the dispatch of an additional excavator and trucks to the site. An extended wet season and much more rainfall during the early stages of mining operations at the Grants open-pit led to temporary increases in fuel usage and delays in open-pit mining. However, mining has been able to speed up since the dry season started, and more trucks and excavators were sent to the site.
