Rio Tinto has started producing spodumene concentrate, a mineral used in the production of lithium for batteries, at a demonstration plant in its Rio Tinto Iron and Titanium (RTIT) Québec Operations in its metallurgical complex in Sorel-Tracy, Canada. The plant will demonstrate at industrial scale a new spodumene concentration process...

The Quebec plant was commissioned in June and produced its first ton of spodumene concentrate in July.

Sinead Kaufman says the firm will move downstream in lithium because it is unrealistic to think the key battery ingredient can be mined and sold like a bulk commodity.

We can’t live our modern lives without mining.

It appears the days of being a “one trick pony” mining company are numbered.
