With this agreement, the company obtains not only a solid financial base, but also the necessary impetus to continue with its expansion plans to increase production capacity to four million metric tons per year(Mtpa).
Tony Ottaviano, CEO of Liontown Resources, expressed his gratitude to the funding consortium for their confidence in the potential of the Kathleen Valley project, highlighting the importance of this support for future lithium mining plans.
This financial backing provides Liontown Resources with a unique position to achieve its near-term objectives, including first production scheduled for mid-year, and to move towards sustainable and robust revenue generation.

The company is committed to exploring long-term financing alternatives that will allow it to maintain its operational flexibility and capacity to expand beyond initial production targets.
The company recently commenced subway mining operations at the Kathleen Valley project in response to fluctuations in the lithium market. Despite the challenges, the project remains focused on its production phase in mid-2024, on schedule and on budget.
