Covalent Lithium – Mount Holland Mine

Survey support for mine development, village construction and associated infrastructure at Mount Holland.

Project Overview

Survey expertise in practice.

Covalent Lithium’s Mount Holland mine is situated 100 km south of Southern Cross in the Shire of Yilgarn. The mine and concentrator are located on a brownfield area that was previously the Bounty Gold Operation. Through their projects at the Mount Holland mine and concentrator and the Kwinana refinery, Covalent Lithium will be producing battery quality lithium hydroxide. The project includes the commissioning of the mine, concentrator, camp, roads and general infrastructure. Culhig Surveying provided Covalent Lithium with surveying support teams on an ad hoc and full-time basis from November 2019 to December 2021.
