  • Iron Giants Go Separate Lithium Ways

    Iron Giants Go Separate Lithium Ways

    Iron giants go separate lithium ways If you look at the latest operational report out this week from global mining major Rio Tinto, it lists its Jadar lithium and borates project in Serbia as being one of its slate of early-stage projects. Indeed, the coverage of the report by the Australian Financial Review concluded with the remark that, of all Rio’s new project line-up, Jadar was far and away the most exciting. Two days later, The Australian newspaper reports that a near neighbour of Rio and also mining iron ore in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, Fortescue Metals Group (FMG), has decided to pass on lithium. The point the company makes is that FMG wants to spend its money reducing costs in its production and shipping of iron ore, not on breaking into new sectors. This shows the difference between the two companies, and their separate approaches to lithium does not reflect on lithium itself, but is explained by the size and purpose of each company. Rio is by far the larger, and in addition to iron ore it is involved in titanium, coal (both coking and thermal), copper and aluminium. In other words, it is a diversified operation and equipped to handle several sectors at once. Fortescue is an iron ore company, with that primary focus. So, as The Australian reports Thursday, “rather than chase up the lithium potential of the iron ore group’s leases in the Pilbara, Fortescue has decided to parcel up the lithium exploration rights and sell them off“. The Fortescue ground is in the same area as a project who owner claims to have one of the world’s largest hard rock sources of lithium, 120km south of the huge Port Hedland iron ore export operation.
