We are making progress at PLS’ Pilgangoora lithium operation, with construction powering ahead thanks to the focus and dedication of our team on the ground. Last week, the first base module for the calciner was successfully installed. The day also included the most complex lift to date, using both Boom Logistics’ 450-tonne and a 750-tonne crane in a coordinated, dual lift operation. In addition, three modules have now been installed in the concentrate handling area. The installation of the spodumene dryer remains as the final major module in this section. A standout feature of this project is the construction and installation of the electric calciner – the first of its kind in the world for this application which uses Calix’s patented electric kiln technology. Massive credit to our site crew, who continue to deliver with precision and professionalism, keeping pace with the schedule. Their commitment and execution are key to maintaining momentum on this project. SIMPEC is proud to be delivering the SMPE&I packages for part of this innovative project.
