Battery materials company Neometals is on the hunt for an off-take partner after selecting a site near Kalgoorlie for the latest lithium hydroxide plant slated for construction in Western Australia. Neometals has signed an option agreement with the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder to sublease a 40 hectare site for a 10,000 tonne-a-year lithium hydroxide plant. It is estimated such a plant would cost close to $200 million to build and bring total potential processing capacity in WA to more than 200,000 tonnes a year.
