Australia: There are currently nine lithium mining projects in Australia—six operational and three on care-and-maintenance status. The six active projects are Mt Holland, Wodgina, Kathleen Valley, Pilgangoora, Ion Mt Mar, and Greenbushes. The Ngungaju processing plant at the Pilgangoora project entered maintenance mode in December 2024. Its restart has been approved by the board, with production scheduled to resume in early July 2026. Among the three suspended projects, Core Lithium’s Finniss project has received board approval to restart operations; Core expects to produce its first lithium concentrate in Q4 2026. Meanwhile, Mineral Resources Limited (MRL) plans to resume lithium concentrate production at the Bald Hill project in July 2026. In June 2025, Pilgangoora updated its mineral resource estimate: total resources increased by 10% to 446 million tonnes. Measured and indicated resources rose by 14% to 376 million tonnes, containing 4.8 million tonnes of lithium oxide (Li₂O) at an average grade of 1.29%. The Pilgangoora expansion projects P680 and P1000 have commenced operations, bringing the site’s total annual capacity to 1 million tonnes of spodumene concentrate. The Greenbushes project operates five lithium concentrate processing plants, with a combined nameplate capacity of approximately 2.14 million tonnes per year. The CGP3 plant—designed for an annual capacity of 520,000 tonnes of lithium concentrate—is expected to complete its ramp-up during 2026. Based on Q1 2026 production performance and anticipated Q2 ramp-up progress for CGP3, IGO revised its FY2026 production guidance downward—from 1.50–1.65 million tonnes to 1.375–1.425 million tonnes. Greenbushes produced 351,000 tonnes of lithium concentrate in Q1 2026, essentially unchanged from the previous quarter’s 352,000 tonnes. Wodgina: Annual production guidance has been raised to 540,000–580,000 tonnes of lithium concentrate (SC6 equivalent). Located 120 km south of Port Hedland in Western Australia, Wodgina is one of the world’s largest known hard-rock lithium deposits. It features three processing lines, each with an annual SC6-equivalent lithium concentrate capacity of 250,000 tonnes; two lines are currently operational. MRL plans to operate all three lines throughout FY2027. According to MRL’s September 2023 corporate announcement, Wodgina hosts 217 million tonnes of mineral resources grading 1.15% Li₂O, and 165 million tonnes of ore reserves. In Q4 2025, MRL raised its FY2026 production guidance for the project from 440,000–480,000 tonnes to 520,000–560,000 tonnes of SC6-equivalent lithium concentrate; this was further revised upward in Q1 2026 to 540,000–580,000 tonnes.
