Core Lithium, which opened its first lithium mine in the Northern Territory last October, has received government approval to open a second operation.<\/p>\n

The Northern Territory Government yesterday announced<\/a> the approval of the BP33 mine, the second at the Finniss Lithium operation near Darwin.<\/p>\n

BP33 will be an underground mine 33km west of Berry Springs and 5km from the Grants open pit, and ore will be processed at the Grants Lithium Project.<\/p>\n

The Adelaide-headquartered Core Lithium\u2019s first exports began shipping in January<\/a>, with the government having awarded it the Territory\u2019s first lithium mining lease<\/a> in 2019.<\/p>\n

The government claims the total value of local spend to date on the Finniss Lithium project, including its 300 employees, is $120 million.<\/p>\n

The BP33 project will employ 60 people during construction, and around 150 people during operations, the government said.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as Core Lithium ships its first 5,500 tonnes of spodumene concentrate, currently being loaded onto the St Andrew ship at Darwin, headed for China.<\/p>\n

Minister for Mining and Industry Nicole Manison said: \u201cCore Lithium has demonstrated their ability to extract and export critical minerals within a short time frame, and the latest proposed mine will be no exception.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is big news for the Northern Territory economy, local suppliers and local jobs, as we move towards a $40 billion economy by 2030.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
