Rio Tinto ready to build Simandou after almost 30 years of setbacks
Simandou has faced delays due to legal disputes, political changes, and the challenges of building a 600 km rail and port infrastructure.
Australia’s Syrah Resources Ltd said on Thursday it will evaluate supplying natural graphite active anode material (AAM), used in lithium-ion batteries, to South Korea’s LG Energy Solution Ltd.
The miner said its unit has been selected for a grant of up to $220 million by the US Department of Energy, which will be used to finance the potential expansion of Syrah’s Vidalia AAM facility in Louisiana.
