Senior Roles with Galaxy Resources

This past week, Galaxy Resources released their quarterly report, indicating that all is right on track for the development of their Lithium project in the south west of Western Australia.

In addition, the company is also finalising plans to establish a lithium carbonate chemical facility in China. This will enable Galaxy to benefit from easy access to established technology in the region, lower associated capital and operating costs, as well as being close to the growing battery markets in Asia.

Galaxy has secured China’s Creat Group as a major investor to help fund the $200m required to bring its Ravensthorpe lithium project into production within a year.

Now in advance stage, the Mt Cattlin Lithium Project at Ravesnthorpe in the south east coast region of Western Australia continues to seek expressions of interest and to recruit for the senior leadership roles. All positions will be residential in the area.
