Pilgangoora Lithium -Tantalite Project
2016
Pilbara, Western Australia
Como Engineers worked closely with Pilbara Minerals to complete the initial Scoping, Pre-feasibility, Definitive Feasibility and Expansion studies for the Pilgangoora Lithium-Tantalite Project prior to the commencement of Early Contractor Involvement work during the Tender phase of the project.
Como were engaged by Pilbara Minerals to manage a comprehensive testwork program for the flowsheet development. The Feasibility Studies confirmed robust project economics based on initial production of ore throughput of 2 Mtpa, producing three product streams i.e.
- Lithium concentrate (Flotation)
- Lithium concentrate (HMS)
- Tantalite concentrate (Gravity).
Como was able to deliver a seamless stream of successful study outcomes to Pilbara that allowed them to develop their project.
