Talison Lithium is a leading global producer of lithium.

Lithium is used in glass, ceramics and batteries for electronic equipment and, increasingly, hybrid vehicles. It is the lightest of all metals and is highly reactive at room temperature.

Talison Lithium mines and processes lithium bearing mineral spodumene at Greenbushes near Perth, Western Australia. The company produces a range of lithium concentrates that are distributed to a well-established global customer base, including China.

In 2008 the company produced approximately 69% of the world's lithium mineral, representing approximately one quarter of the world's lithium. Read more about lithium.
