Mineral Resources Restarts Bald Hill Lithium Mine After 18 Months as Prices Rise

6 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · May 18

Mineral Resources said it will restart the Bald Hill lithium mine in Western Australia, ending an 18-month shutdown and targeting first Spodumene concentrate production in July.
Late May will mark the start of the ramp-up, with crushing and mining operations scheduled to begin in June before output resumes the following month.
The restart is a bet that recovering lithium prices will make production economical again after a prolonged downturn forced the site offline.
Bald Hill’s return adds to signs that miners are preparing to bring idled lithium capacity back as battery-material markets improve.

Is restarting the Bald Hill mine a masterstroke or a risky bet on the volatile lithium market?
