Talison, Salares Lithium to merge

摘要

Australian producer Talison Minerals and Vancouver-based Salares Lithium (lit-v) are joining forces to create the world's largest publicly traded lithium production and exploration company. Talison is already the largest lithium producer in the world, based on its hard-rock mine in the Greenbushes area of Western Australia. Lithium mining at Greenbushes dates to 1983; the processing plant was built in 1985 and has been expanded several times since, to now produce roughly 260,000 tonnes of lithium concentrate annually.
