Snapshot
Operations
Products and/or services of IGO
- Lithium Spodumene Production: Joint-venture ownership in hard-rock lithium mining operations at the Greenbushes deposit in Western Australia. The facility extracts lithium pegmatite ore and processes it into high-grade spodumene concentrates for global supply chains and battery manufacturing.
- Lithium Hydroxide Refining: Downstream processing operations at the Kwinana refinery in Western Australia. The facility converts spodumene concentrate sourced from regional mining operations into battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate supplied directly to international energy storage and vehicle battery manufacturers.
- Underground Nickel-Copper Mining: Underground mining and processing operations at the Nova asset in the Fraser Range of Western Australia. The facility extracts magmatic sulfide ore to produce separate nickel and copper concentrates containing cobalt by-products for export markets.
- Regional Nickel Processing & Operations: Processing infrastructure and underground mining operations across Western Australia nickel belts, including the Forrestania and Cosmos regional assets. These facilities treat nickel ore to produce high-grade concentrate feed for global smelting and refining networks.
- Regional Base Metals Exploration: Early to advanced-stage exploration programs across belt-scale landholdings in Western Australia, Northern Territory, and South Australia. Targets focus on magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt and sediment-hosted copper mineralisation using geophysics and deep drilling techniques.
- Metallurgical & Chemical Development: Research and commercial development of hydrometallurgical processing techniques for battery metals. The program targets direct conversion of nickel-copper-cobalt concentrates into precursor cathode active materials to support downstream battery precursor supply chains.
