A scoping study into the Stage 3 expansion of the Pilgangoora lithium project has delivered positive results, ASX-listed Pilbara Minerals told shareholders.
The Stage 3 expansion would increase output at Pilgangoora from the Stage 2 production of between 800 000 t/y and 850 000 t/y of high-quality spodumene concentrate, to some 1.2-million tonnes a year of spodumene concentrate and 1.1-million pounds a year of 3-% tantalite concentrate, by enlarging the processing capacity to 7.5-million tonnes a year.
