Products and/or services of Core Lithium

  • Spodumene Concentrate Production: Commercial-grade lithium concentrate produced from open-pit mining operations at hard-rock pegmatite deposits located in the Northern Territory of Australia. The processed mineral product serves as essential feedstock for global battery manufacturing and energy storage markets.
  • Direct Shipping Ore Sales: Extraction and export of unprocessed lithium direct shipping ore from near-surface pegmatite deposits to international markets. This operation generates early commercial revenues and shipping volume prior to full-scale beneficiation plant operations.
  • Lithium Processing Operations: Operation of a dense media separation processing facility designed to process high-grade lithium pegmatite ore into export-quality concentrate. The plant utilizes crushing, screening, and heavy liquid separation technology to produce concentrated lithium minerals.
  • Hard-Rock Lithium Exploration: Systematic exploration and resource extension drilling across extensive regional tenement packages in the Northern Territory. The programs aim to identify new lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes and increase overall mineral resource and ore reserve estimates.
  • Gold and Base Metals Exploration: Geoscientific assessment and target drilling across prospective exploration licences prospective for gold, uranium, copper, lead, and zinc. These exploration activities diversify resource exposure across strategic mineral belts in Northern Australia.
  • Port and Logistics Management: Management of integrated road haulage, port storage, and bulk ship-loading infrastructure at commercial export facilities in Darwin. The logistics network supports efficient export shipping of bulk mineral products to overseas downstream customers.
