Pilbara Minerals is a leading Australian lithium-tantalum producer which is strongly positioned to capitalise on the resurgence in the lithium raw materials market. Thanks to some astute corporate and strategic moves over the past 12 months – notably its well-timed recent US$175 million acquisition of the adjoining Altura Lithium Operations – Pilbara Minerals has secured its position as the world’s largest independent hard rock lithium operation.
In addition to claiming a position as one of the best-performing stocks in the All-Ordinaries index last year, Liontown has cemented its position as an exciting new-generation lithium growth stock, underpinned by its Tier-1 Kathleen Valley Project in WA.

Boss is targeting production of up 3.3Mlbs per annum.
Trigg Mining is on track to achieve a quick transition from explorer to developer status in the fast-growing Australian potash industry thanks to the grade, scale and location of its exciting Lake Throssell discovery, near Laverton in WA.

Gateway Mining is in the midst of a breakthrough exploration campaign across its camp-scale, 100%-owned Gidgee Gold Project, located 800km north-east of Perth in WA.
