Global Lithium obtains mining development proposal approval for its Manna project
The Western Australia Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration has approved the Mining Development and Closure Proposal (MDCP) for diversified lithium exploration and development company Global Lithium Resources' Manna lithium project.
The approved MDCP enables Global Lithium to establish important early works and critical infrastructure at the Manna mine site, located about 110 km east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
The project’s MDCP approval contemplates the development of multiple openpits, comprising one main and two satellite pits, waste rock and dry stack tailings, ore stockpiles, an accommodation village, a bore field, topsoil stockpile areas and associated mining infrastructure.
The approval will also help inform Global Lithium's final investment decision for Manna, which is targeted for the fourth quarter of this year and the operation's fast-tracked schedule towards first direct shipping ore in the second quarter of 2027, to be followed by the first production of spodumene concentrate grading 5.5% lithium oxide in mid-2027.
“Securing this critical permit further accelerates our path to production, underpinning our commitment to become Australia’s next lithium producer and delivering real value to our shareholders and community partners,” says Global Lithium MD Dr Dianmin Chen.
