The PFS will assess the technical and economic feasibility of a mining and processing operation for the production of acid-grade fluorspar.
Located 100km south of Wyndham and 110km southwest of Kununurra, the fluorite project is part of Tivan’s Speewah vanadium project, acquired from King River Resources in late-2023 for $20 million.
Speewah has mineral resources of 27.2 million tonnes at 9.5% calcium fluoride, with a high-grade component of 6.7Mt grading 24.6% calcium fluoride.
Fluorine was recently added to the federal government’s Critical Minerals List, so Tivan may be eligible for government financial assistance.
The mineral is used to produce commercial-grade fluorspar products and fluorine for steel, aluminium and chemical manufacturing. It is also in demand for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, solar cells and semiconductor manufacturing.
