Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox mine The Bald Hill Lithium and Tantalum Mine is a lithium mine in Australia. It was closed, but is being re-opened for tantalum production. It previously was operated as a tantalum mine by Haddington International Resources.[1] The mine comprises approximately 774 square kilometres in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields Coolgardie Municipal area. It is located approximately 60 kilometres south east of Kambalda and around 50 kilometres east of Widgiemooltha.[2][3]

In 2019 Bald Hill Lithium and Tantalum Mine was funded to production with existing lithium offtake agreements in place with a Hong-Kong based company, Burwill Holdings Limited (Шаблон:SEHK).[4]

The mine ceased production in late 2019.[5]

Ownership

The Bald Hill Lithium and Tantalum Mine was jointly owned by Tawana Resources and Alliance Mineral Assets Limited.[6][3] Tawana and Alliance Mineral Assets Limited merged in a $446 million merger in 2018.[7] The combined company initially trades as Alliance Mineral Assets, but changed its name to Alita Resources in July 2019. Administrators were appointed in August 2019.[8] The company failed when the mine continued to operate but the offtake partner stopped accepting shipments.[9]

As of 2022, the mine is owned by Lithco No.2 Pty Ltd which, in turn, is indirectly fully owned by Alita Resources. Lithco secured a US$30 million loan from Yihe Cleantech Material Limited for the purpose of resuming operations at the mine in March 2022.[10]

Reserves and resources

The Bald Hill Lithium and Tantalum Mine has reserves amounting to Шаблон:Convert grading 1.01% lithium and 160 parts per million tantalum for Шаблон:Convert in contained lithium and Шаблон:Convert of contained tantalum. The increased reserve now underpinning an initial nine-year mine life. The contained lithium resource is estimated to be Шаблон:Convert grading 0.96% lithium, 149 parts per million tantalum for Шаблон:Convert of contained lithium and Шаблон:Convert of contained tantalum. Additionally, with the ongoing infill drilling program, further upgrades are targeted for later this year.[2][3]
