Delivering Precision Crushing Solutions for Talison Lithium’s Greenbushes Operations
Peel Resource Recovery was entrusted by Talison Lithium Pty Ltd, operators of the world-class Greenbushes Lithium Mine in Western Australia, to execute a large-scale crushing operation that would support their critical production needs. Since 2022, our team has been instrumental in processing over 400,000 tonnes of high-quality gravel, meticulously crushed to meet Main Roads Department (MRD) specifications of 75mm minus and 38mm minus—ensuring optimal material performance for Talison’s infrastructure and operational requirements.
Project Scope & Challenges
The scope of work demanded a fully integrated crushing solution, including:
- Drilling & Blasting: Preparing raw material for efficient crushing.
- Primary & Secondary Crushing: Reducing large rock formations into precisely graded aggregates.
- Screening & Stockpiling: Ensuring strict compliance with MRD specifications.
Key challenges included:
- Maintaining tight tolerances for lithium mine infrastructure needs.
- Minimising downtime in a high-production environment
- Handling large volumes while ensuring safety and environmental compliance.
Our Approach: Heavy Machinery & Expert Execution
To meet Talison’s exacting standards, Peel Resource Recovery deployed a dedicated fleet of high-performance equipment, including:
- Jaw Crusher: For primary reduction of raw feed material.
- Impact Crusher: Fine-tuning aggregates to meet exact sizing requirements.
- Screener: Ensuring 100% compliance with 75mm and 38mm minus specifications.
- D10 Dozer & 980 Loader: Efficiently managing stockpile movement and feed into crushers.
- 36-tonne Excavator: Precision handling of raw material.
- 18m Radial Stacker: Accelerating stockpile management and reducing cycle time.
Our team implemented real-time quality control checks, ensuring every tonne met MRD standards before being stockpiled for Talison’s use.
Results & Impact
Looking Ahead:
We continue to work closely with Talison Lithium, ensuring uninterrupted supply of high-quality materials to support the growing demand for lithium—a critical component in clean energy and electric vehicle production.
