PERTH (miningweekly.om) – ASX-listed Altura Mining has reported record lithium sales in the June quarter from its project in the Pilbara.

A record 60 950 t of lithium was shipped during the quarter, with 16 000 t recently loaded at Port Hedland, bound for China, marking the fourth shipment in the June quarter.

“Our operation continues to perform at a high level during a time of global difficulty for all businesses. We have delivered a record quarter in terms of product sold and shipped, while operationally we are on track to achieve production of around 45 000 t,” said Altura MD James Brown.

“There is no doubt we are still learning more about the entire supply chain and our production team continues to produce a high-quality product at a globally competitive price point, while our sales and marketing team have continued to ensure Altura meets its obligations to deliver product to our long-term offtake partners.”
