## About IGO

IGO is a Perth-based miner whose route into lithium runs through its stake in Tianqi Lithium Energy Australia. That company holds a controlling interest in the Greenbushes mine in Western Australia, among the largest and highest-grade hard-rock lithium mines in the world, along with a lithium hydroxide refinery at Kwinana. IGO's nickel business, centred on the Nova operation, is winding down.

## IGO's critical minerals business

IGO is linked to lithium and nickel. Its lithium comes through its stake in Greenbushes, which produces spodumene concentrate for converters worldwide, and in the Kwinana refinery, built to turn that concentrate into battery-grade lithium hydroxide. Nickel, together with copper and cobalt, has come from Nova, though the company's future is now firmly tied to lithium.

## Where IGO operates

IGO's lithium interests are Greenbushes in the South West of Western Australia and the Kwinana lithium hydroxide refinery south of Perth, both held through Tianqi Lithium Energy Australia. The Nova nickel-copper-cobalt operation is in the Fraser Range, east of Kalgoorlie.
