From June 13 MasterMines Interview : (all questions were chosen by AJM and MasterMines, which disclosed it was an interested party )
“Mastermines – David Gillam. There have been some announcements from lithium miners regarding a downstream model to produce lithium carbonate and/or hydroxide’? Have you had any meaningful discussions in this direction from existing or new potential partners?
Altura Mining – James Brown. Yes, most current and potential offtake partners have the ability to convert to lithium carbonate or hydroxide.
Altura as the raw material supplier could have the potential to participate in the downstream process from an equity perspective.
The entire outcome would depend on partner expertise, (do they have a track record of process delivery), and the capital requirement from Altura.
The focus for downstream is often the size of the output in LCE terms. The 220ktpa from Altura is a significant contribution to global battery pre-cursor materials and should be considered on that basis – it is an attractive option for the correct partner.”
