WA has bright future in lithium – report

A new report on the future of the Western Australian lithium industry has noted that while future outlook for the commodity remained bright, it warned that government support was vital for the sector to remain sustainable.

The report was commissioned by the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australian (CME) and The Association of Mining and Exploration Company (Amec) to investigate what was needed to ensure the immediate viability, growth and longer-term sustainability of Western Australia’s lithium industry.
