Pilbara numbers. Pilgan Plant Our 2 million tonne per annum (Mtpa) mining and processing operation produces ~330,000 tpa of ~6% spodumene concentrate and 321,000 lbspa of +5% tantalite concentrate. The processing facility consists of a heavy/dense media separation (DMS) circuit to produce a coarse concentrate and a flotation and gravity circuit to produce fines concentrate. Both the fines and coarse concentrate are blended to deliver a high quality, ~6% spodumene concentrate product to customers.
Pilbara Minerals continues to optimise Pilgan Plant operations to improve processing performance and reduce operating costs.
In October 2021 we achieved first concentrate production through the new filter press at the Pilgan Plant, with the ramp-up of the new equipment expected to increase overall spodumene production.
Following ramp-up, the annual production capacity of the Pilgan Plant is expected to increase from ~330,000 dry metric tonnes (dmt) to 360-380,000 dmt
Ngungaju Plant Following the completion of initial integration studies and in response to continued strong demand from our customer base, Pilbara Minerals’ Board gave its approval for a staged restart of the Ngungaju Plant late in FY2021.
In October 2021 we successfully produced the first spodumene concentrate from the coarse circuit at our Ngungaju Plant.
The restart of the coarse circuit at Ngungaju is expected to accelerate spodumene concentrate production, with construction, commissioning and ramp-up works progressing for both the fines and coarse concentrate circuits.
We expect annual production to be ramped up to approximately 180,000 to 200,000 dmt from the September Quarter 2022. This will see the combined annual production capacity of the Pilgangoora Project increase to 560,000 to 580,000 dmt.
The restart of our Ngungaju Plant will expand production capacity, increase the scale of operations and provide production flexibility as Pilbara Minerals looks to satisfy rapidly growing market demand.
