Lithium Africa to advance Springbok project
What the source reported
Source-reportedTSX-V-listed Lithium Africa has decided to advance the Springbok project, in South Africa’s Northern Cape province, toward the production of spodumene concentrate, targeting first production in the second half of 2027. The company had been evaluating a direct shipping ore (DSO) sale of the existing stockpile of previously mined pegmatite at Norrabees I. Instead, it has decided to process that material, together with newly mined pegmatite, through an on-site dense media separation (DMS) plant.
