Leo Lithium Limited announced key construction milestones at the Goulamina Lithium Project (Goulamina or the Project) in Mali. Goulamina is a Joint Venture between Leo Lithium (50%) and Ganfeng Lithium Group (50%) (Goulamina JV). The Goulamina JV has successfully poured first concrete in the primary crushing area of the Project, with the ball mill area foundations also ready for concreting in the coming days.

In conjunction, manufacturing of the ball mill and other crucial crushing equipment, such as the cone crusher and jaw crusher, has been successfully completed and is undergoing final factory inspection tests before the equipment is readied for transport to site. Final trim earthworks in the plant area are underway and this enables concrete preparation and installation to proceed, while significant mobile equipment resources are applied to continue work on the TSF, in line with the plan. With supply items such as structural steel and permanent accommodation units now ready to be transported to site, later this half, Leo Lithium will be focused on the installation of the ball mill, the cone and jaw crushers, as well as the supply and installation of plant and electrical services.

Design works of the overland water piping package from Sélingué Dam (which will provide site process water) continues to progress, with installation works set to commence later this quarter.
