The Mt Cattlin mine is a spodumene-tantalite mine 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) north of Ravensthorpe, Western Australia. Mt Cattlin has a reserve of 9.9 million tonnes of ore grading 1.04% Li2O and 149 ppm Ta2O5. It was operated by Galaxy Resources between 2009 and 2012 before being placed on care-and-maintenance in 2013.[1][2]
Mine production restarted on 31 March 2016 with a 17-year mine life at a rate of 800,000 tonnes of ore per year.[3][4] In January 2017 the first shipment of 10,000 tonnes of lithium concentrate was consigned from Esperance to Lianyungang, China.[5][6]
