Core Lithium

Core Lithium is an Australian lithium mining company focused on the exploration, development and production of lithium resources. The company is headquartered in Australia and operates primarily in the Northern Territory, where it owns and operates the Finniss lithium project near Darwin. Core Lithium is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the ticker code CXO. The Finniss project is one of the closest lithium mines to a major port in Australia, providing logistical advantages for export to international markets. The company produces lithium concentrate, which is used in the manufacture of batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Core Lithium achieved first production from Finniss in 2022, becoming one of Australia's newer lithium producers during a period of strong global demand for battery materials. The company has faced operational and market challenges common to junior miners, including commodity price volatility and the capital intensity of ramping up production. Core Lithium's operations contribute to Australia's position as a leading global supplier of lithium, a critical mineral for the energy transition. The company was founded in the early 2010s and has grown from an exploration-stage venture to a producing miner.
