PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Pilbara Minerals has signed a native title agreement with the Njamal People over its Pilgangoora lithium project, in Western Australia.

Pilbara MD and CEO Ken Brinsden said on Tuesday that the native title agreement represented a significant approval required to allow the grant of a mining lease. The award of a mining lease is the last hurdle to the Pilgangoora mining proposal submission, and subsequent final project permitting during the first quarter of next year.

“We are delighted to have finalised this pivotal native title agreement with the Njamal People, the traditional owners at Pilgangoora, and we look forward to working closely with them as we advance this major new Australian lithium/tantalum project into production.”

The project is expected to deliver 314 000 t/y of 6% spodumene concentrate and 321 000 lb/y of tantalite.
