Pilbara Area Lithium Activity
- In 2017, Mineral Resources Wodgina Lithium Mine began production and is one of the world’s largest hard rock lithium operations.
- Pilbara Minerals Pilgangoora lithium operation, and Global Lithium Resources Marble Bar Lithium Deposit, are also located in the Pilbara mining region.
- December 2021, Chilean lithium producer SQM (Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile) announced a joint venture with Kalamazoo Resources on KZR’s Dom’s Hill Lithium Project.

The first phase of evaluation will comprise a satellite imagery program combined with a ground sampling program. Local geology is interpreted as Archaen granite-greenstone. The contact zones between the granite and greenstone are interpreted as being the areas of exploration interest. Further news on the exploration program is expected later this month.
