underground mining

Core Lithium restarted its Finniss operation and awarded a $274 million underground mining contract. This matters to supply chain analysts because lithium production capacity additions directly impact battery supply chains for EVs and energy storage.

Tharisa Minerals initiated underground mining operations at its Tharisa mine with openpit resources expected to deplete by 2034. This transition secures continued platinum group metals production from the Bushveld Complex, maintaining supply of critical materials used in automotive catalysts and hydrogen fuel cells.
