Liontown Completes Open Pit at Kathleen Valley, Shifts to Fully Underground Lithium Mining

Liontown Resources Limited ( (AU:LTR) ) has issued an announcement.

Liontown Limited has completed open pit mining at its Kathleen Valley Lithium Operation on schedule, marking a transition to a fully underground mining operation and establishing Australia’s first large-scale underground lithium mine. The open pit phase provided critical waste rock for key infrastructure such as the ROM pad and tailings storage facility and generated clean ore that enabled early commissioning and ramp-up of the processing plant, with production in the last two quarters exceeding targets and building strategic stockpiles that will underpin mill feed and feed security through early FY27. Underground development and production are progressing as planned, delivering consistent high-quality ore to the mill and giving the operation flexibility to prioritise higher-margin ore and scale output in line with market demand, reinforcing Liontown’s growth trajectory and operational resilience in the lithium sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:LTR) stock is a Buy with a A$1.80 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Liontown Resources Limited stock, see the AU:LTR Stock Forecast page.
