Colina
Project

Strategic global diversification through high quality hard rock lithium mining assets.

The Colina Project is an early-stage hard rock lithium mining project located near Salinas in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Situated in one of the world’s most prospective and well-established lithium provinces, Colina is a key component of our international growth strategy.

Expanding our global footprint through international growth

By securing 100% ownership of the Colina Project through our acquisition of Latin Resources in February 2025, we have strengthened our long-term development pipeline beyond Australia. 

The project is well positioned to supply emerging battery materials markets in North America and Europe, strengthening our role as a leading provider of materials supporting the global energy transition. Colina provides a key growth option within our portfolio, with feasibility study outcomes targeted for the December Quarter 2027.

Resource scale
and geology

The drilling results to date support a significant Mineral Resource estimate, with ongoing work focused on identifying expansion opportunities across the broader tenure. The project encompasses high-grade spodumene mineralisation within a highly prospective corridor.

Advancing through
disciplined study

We are progressing drilling and study optimisation activities to unlock the full potential of the asset.

Our current work focuses on infill drilling to increase resource confidence, expanding the existing Mineral Resource, and testing new targets across the broader project area.

The project benefits from proximity to established transport, energy, and camp infrastructure, as well as a growing regional battery materials ecosystem. Feasibility study outcomes are targeted for the December Quarter 2027. Any future development decision will be based on the outcomes of this study, approvals, funding capacity and market conditions.

Community and
shared value

Our team works closely with local communities and stakeholders, focusing on building long-term relationships, understanding local priorities and ensuring development is undertaken responsibly.

The Colina Project has the potential to contribute to regional economic development through employment, local procurement and investment in community initiatives.

Our current focus areas include working with the community to develop shared infrastructure, supporting local employment and contributing to health and education outcomes.
