Lithium Australia to supply cathode materials by July

Lithium Australia is set to begin production in July of some of the world’s most advanced lithium-ion battery cathode materials after recommissioning the facilities of its newly acquired Very Small Particle Company.

The ASX-listed company completed its acquisition of the VSPC in February as part of a bold strategy to create a vertically integrated lithium processing business with operations from lithium mining right through to battery recycling.

Brisbane-based VSPC spent 14 years and approximately A$30 million developing some of the world’s most advanced manufacturing techniques for the production of lithium-ion battery cathode materials.

The VSPC facility includes a 2 to 4 tonne per annum pilot plant, an integrated laboratory, coin-cell production facility and battery-testing equipment.
