About
As part of the Lithium Industry Support Program, the State Government will provide fee waiver support to lithium miners in the ramp-up phase for a period of up to 24 months, after which lithium prices are expected to recover to an economically sustainable level. The fee waiver program will help to protect local jobs and investment in lithium production during an unexpected plunge in the price of lithium.
To support lithium miners in the ramp-up phase of their project, port charges and mining tenement fees will be waived for up to 24 months, to the value of $9.37 million.
