Contract for critical long-lead equipment item awarded to secure a production slot

and meet targeted first lithium concentrate production in 2024

Highlights:

  • Contract for Semi Autogenous Grinding (SAG) Mill awarded to Metso-Outotec.
  • The award for the design, fabrication and delivery of the 7.9m diameter, 5.5MW Premier™ SAG Mill represents a significant deliverable in the purchasing and contracting strategy for the Kathleen Valley Project.
  • Metso-Outotec is a class-leading processing equipment supplier with multiple comparable mill installations in operation across the world.
  • Engineering is progressing on other key long-leaditems, with all packages expected to be awarded over the next 6 months to ensure production slots and maintain schedule.

Liontown Resources Limited (ASX: LTR) ("Liontown" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has awarded a key contract to Metso-Outotec for the design, fabrication and delivery of a Semi Autogenous Grinding (SAG) Mill for its flagship Kathleen Valley Lithium Project ("Project") in Western Australia.

Following the completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for Kathleen Valley in November 2021, the Company has completed further engineering optimisation to confirm the scope and duty of the SAG Mill to a sufficient level of detail to enable it to place the order with Metso-Outotec.

The contract, which has a value of ~A$10 million and is in accordance with DFS estimates, is for the design, fabrication and delivery of a 7.9m (26") diameter and 4.4m effective grinding length 5.5MW SAG Mill. This is inclusive of all lining, lubrication, cooling, electrical and mechanical drive systems necessary for installation and commissioning. The SAG Mill will accommodate both base production of 2.5Mtpa and the planned expansion to 4Mtpa in Year 6 of the mine plan. Figure 1 shows an example of an installed Metso-Outotec Premier™ SAG Mill that is similar to the SAG Mill ordered by Liontown.

The SAG Mill is one of several critical long-lead items identified for early award and represents the largest single piece of equipment required to be purchased for the Project by size, value and lead time.

Detailed engineering and design for the A$473 million Kathleen Valley Project continues and Liontown is targeting the award of all key equipment packages over the next 6 months to maintain schedule and meet its target of first production of lithium concentrate in 2024.
