"Australia remains a key producer of lithium with its spodumene
deposits, through brownfield expansions of its major mines
(Pilgangora, Greenbushes, Mount Marion and Wodgina) as well as
several new projects, such as the Kathleen Valley and Mount Holland
mines. Australia also hosts a first-of-its-kind tailings retreatment
facility at Greenbushes, designed to extract further lithium from
anterior mining waste. In the base case, Australia remains the largest
producer in 2030, accounting for a third of world production."
