Rio Tinto hails another step closer to develop Serbian lithium mine
If developed, the $2.4 billion Jadar lithium project in Western Serbia could cover 90% of Europe's current lithium needs.
BHP Billiton’s (ASX:BHP) subsidiary Illawarra Coal is cutting 36 jobs as part of what it calls an “organizational review,” which will be completed in the middle of this year at its Australian coal mines in the south coast.
According to Illawara Mercury, both contractor and head office positions will be affected by the measure that aims to secure the future competitiveness of the business.
llawarra Coal employs about 2,200 workers and operates three underground coal mines in New South Wales —Appin, West Cliff and Dendrobium—, as well as two coal preparation plants.
