Greenbushes Lithium Operations – First Quarter 2011 Financial Year Production Results
The following highlights are for the Greenbushes Lithium Operations for the first financial quarter ended September 30, 2010:
The lithium concentrate production for the first quarter of 80,729 tonnes exceeded sales of 52,524 tonnes as a result of timing differences between product shipment schedules and production schedules. Talison continues to produce at capacity and sell 100% of its production.
In addition to record first quarter production, the Greenbushes Lithium Operations also produced and sold a special parcel of 17,333 tonnes of crushed ore into the Chinese market. Due to the high grade of Talison’s ore, it can be converted directly into lithium carbonate by its Chinese customers without intermediate processing. Sales of crushed ore are a short term measure to meet market demand until Talison completes the Stage 1 expansion of lithium concentrate production capacity. The Stage 1 expansion remains on schedule for completion in early calendar 2011.
Talison expects annual production for the 2011 financial year will exceed the annual budget of 43,000 tonnes LCE.
Demand for both Talison’s technical and chemical grade lithium concentrate continued to increase during the first quarter as markets continued to demonstrate significant signs of recovery.
