Mineral Resources Restarts Australia Lithium Mine as Prices Rise

Mineral Resources Ltd. will restart its Bald Hill lithium mine in Western Australia after an 18-month hiatus, betting that a rebound in prices of the battery material will support renewed production.

A ramp-up in activity at the site will begin in late May, with crushing and mining operations to start in June and first production of spodumene concentrate from July, according to a filing to Australian Securities Exchange on Monday.
