WAPC approves AVL’s vanadium processing hub
Australian Vanadium (AVL) received approval from the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) for its proposed vanadium processing plant.
In a file, the company confirmed that the request for the development of the installation had been erased.
The company described The Move as “not forward” in its strategy aimed at developing a fully integrated vanadium supply chain in Australia.
The installation, located about 65 km east of Geraldton, is a key element of the Australian Vanadium project, which includes a mine, a concentrator and an already operational vanadium electrolyte manufacturing plant in Perth.
Tenindewa installation will help allow AVL to produce vanadium products, make electrolyte and support the deployment of vanadium (VFBS) batteries entirely in Australia-Western (WA).
This initiative is aligned with the strategy of critical minerals of the federal government and the future carried out in Australia, which aims to strengthen the country’s energy security and industrial capacities.
The WAPC decision has occurred after an in -depth assessment of the major development evaluation unit of the Ministry of Planning, Lands and Heritage, which recommended the project approval with certain conditions.
The CEO of Australian Vanadium, Graham Arvidson, said: “This is a historic moment for AVL and a significant step in the realization of our vision of a fully integrated vanadium value chain.”
“Tenindewa’s transformation plant will bring long -term economic and social benefits to Midwest, including job creation, regional investments and new opportunities in the critical sectors of minerals and renewable energies. With the development of development now in place, AVL will progress secondary approvals, will advance detailed engineering and continue project planning activities to support future investment and execution decisions. ”
The components of the project, including the mine and the Gabanintha concentrator near Meekatharra and the Tenindewa processing plant, will collectively contribute to the vision of Avl of an vertically integrated vanadium operation.
In January, the WA government granted Australian Vanadium Project Green Energy Major Statute, recognizing its potential to unlock the national production of vanadium production and to support energy storage solutions.
“WAPC approves the Vanadium d’Avl treatment hub” was originally created and published by Mining Technology, a brand belonging to Globaldata.
