  • 30 April

Diversified miner Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN) has provided an update to the market on its activities during the March quarter.

HIGHLIGHTS

·       Submissions were lodged with the relevant regulatory authorities in Australia and China in relation to the binding Asset Sale and Share Subscription Agreement between Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN, MRL) and Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB, Albemarle) regarding the sale of a 50% interest in the Wodgina Lithium Project. Completion of the transaction is still expected to occur during the 2019 calendar year (CY19)

·       Construction of the Wodgina spodumene concentrate plant and associated non-process infrastructure progressed during the quarter with plant commissioning for train one (250,000 tonne per annum module) commenced during the quarter. The Mount Marion All-in-6% Concentrate Upgrade Project is in the advanced stages of completion with plant commissioning well-progressed

·       The sale agreement with Neometals Limited (ASX: NMT, Neometals) for Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co., Ltd (Ganfeng) and MRL to jointly and equally acquire Neometals’ 13.8% share in the Mount Marion Lithium Project completed in March, bringing MRL’s equity interest in the project to 50%

·       During the quarter, MRL announced that the Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement (FJVA) between Brockman Mining Limited (SEHK: 159; ASX: BCK; Brockman) and MRL became unconditional, marking the commencement of the farm-in period in relation to the Marillana Iron Ore Project in the Pilbara (ASX: 22/01/19)

·       On 11 January 2019, MRL advised Hexagon Resources Limited (ASX: HXG) that it had earned its 51% interest in the McIntosh Graphite Project under the Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) effective as at 28 September 2018. Under the JVA, MRL must meet certain “end-dates” to retain its joint venture interest (see details below). MRL will provide all mining, processing and logistical services for the project under a life-of-mine Project Services Agreement. During Q3 FY19 metallurgical test work continued to develop knowledge required to optimise the concentrate flow sheets, with outcomes from modelling expected in Q4 FY19

·       Iron ore shipments increased 41% over the prior quarter to 3.3 million tonnes (Mt) driven by the successful ramp up of Koolyanobbing

·       Koolyanobbing achieved its target annualised run rate of 6Mtpa of iron ore production and plans have been developed to increase production to 8Mtpa by Q1 FY20

·       Spodumene concentrate production from the Mt Marion project remained in line with Q2 FY19, shipping 111,287 wet metric tonnes (WMT) with 66% of output being high-grade 6% Li2O product

·       MRL Energy continued evaluation of various options in relation to permits EP 368 and EP389 during the quarter
