TEES VALLEY LITHIUM WITH AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER ANTHONY ALBANESE AFTER HE ANNOUNCES FEDERAL INVESTMENT IN EXPANDING PORT CAPACITY AT PORT HEDLAND
Last week Tees Valley Lithium International CEO Tony Veitch had the opportunity to meet Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and members of the Australian Federal Cabinet in Port Hedland.
The Prime Minister, along with his Federal Cabinet colleagues, were in Port Hedland for an event with members of the Pilbara community. TVL received an invitation from the Prime Minister to join him at this community event on Tuesday 21st February.
The PM was joined by members of the Australian Federal Cabinet, including the Treasurer, Infrastructure Minister, Attorney General and Minister for Employment.
The PM and the Western Australian Premier started the day with a press conference announcing a $660 million investment to expand the export and import capacity at the Port of Port Hedland. This involves the expansion of Lumsden Point in the Port of Port Hedland to deliver new multi-user facilities and berths increasing the capacity to export battery metals such as lithium and copper concentrates, as well as import renewable energy infrastructure including wind turbines and blades.
Tony also met with local community officials to discuss TVL’s plans to build a new lithium sulphate refinery at Port Hedland.
Earlier this year, TVL announced the company had been allocated land to build a Lithium Sulphate (LSM) refinery at Boodarie at Port Hedland, Western Australia.
TVL has been allocated land along with BP, POSCO, Fortescue Metals and Alinta Energy with the aim of making Boodarie part of a A$70 billion globally competitive Pilbara green industrial precinct.
TVL’s Port Hedland LSM refinery will offer Australian spodumene producers a significant mid-stream processing option with direct access to the premium European battery market.
Not bad aye.
I previously stated under an Australian thread that I would imagine Port Hedland inc the spare Lithium Spodumene Pilbara have already declared as tolling grade will be first up - with a seperate article regarding BV working with TVL on the MoU of tolling grade lithium to lithium hydroxide - first up so the final testing will be finishing by the time TVL's plug n play site is just reaching a point where it needs the tolling grade feedstock to test.
BOTH should be any time now, but process would start with the supply capability = Port Hedland Plant set up , then its getting it up to TVL.
FANTASTIC that TVL are right up and centre to the Australian Gov cash fund !!!
