Grant Program:
Modern Manufacturing Initiative
Grant Activity:
Creating an Australian Green Fuelled Vanadium Battery Industry
Purpose:
Australian Vanadium Limiteds (AVLs) Modern Manufacturing Initiative Collaboration project will design, construct and commission a vanadium open cut mine and a crushing, milling & beneficiation (CMB) plant at Gabanintha, W.A and a high-purity vanadium pentoxide processing plant at Tenindewa, W.A. AVL is working with ATCO Australia Pty Ltd (ATCO) to incorporate green hydrogen into fuelling the processing plant.
AVL is also collaborating with Bryah Resources Limited (Bryah) through a mineral rights agreement that will in future see the recovery of cobalt, nickel, copper, and gold from this deposit.
Despite Australia having the worlds third largest reserves of vanadium, none of this critical mineral is currently mined and processed in this country. The support of the MMI Collaboration grant will restart the vanadium industry in Australia, and post-grant, will enable an integrated supply chain involving all stages of the value chain, from extraction, processing, electrolyte manufacturing and sales to Australian and global markets.
