Lithium

Lithium is the key mineral sought for the lithium-ion battery, and one that requires sustained supply-side investment in the coming medium term.

We have been active in the lithium market since the mid-2000s. As a provider of engineering services to the Greenbushes mine for many years, we studied, engineered, delivered and commissioned into production spodumene concentration capacity.

Since those beginnings, we continued to support the sector – both in upstream mining and beneficiation, to downstream processing. Wave and its key personnel have delivered upstream projects from resource definition through study, delivery and operations. In the downstream sector, our experts have delivered projects from study, design, commissioning, ramp up and operations.

We are active in connecting investment, projects and customers to enable effective new supply into the market.

Pioneering Sustainable Supply Chains through Commercial Excellence

Lithium is an essential mineral for the stability of the lithium-ion battery, but one that comes with a challenging supply chain.

Graphite is a traditional industrial mineral with a diverse range of traditional uses. Its application in the lithium-ion battery requires a new level of investment in not only flake supply but also downstream value-added products.

Wave’s activity in this sector is both in the development of traditional graphite projects and value-added downstream products for the battery sector.

Our traditional study, engineering and project delivery expertise is applied to this sector internationally.

Cobalt is an essential mineral for the stability of the lithium-ion battery, but one that comes with a challenging supply chain.

Wave’s key personnel have extensive hydrometallurgical experience and have been actively involved in the research and development of alternative processing technologies with potential application to the extraction of cobalt.

The unique properties of rare earths elements are critical to modern and future technologies and help power economic growth.

This space has seen an exponential growth in demand for rare earths elements, which are critical in the fields of clean renewable energy such as wind turbines, electric/hybrid vehicles, health care, digital devices, consumer electronics, aerospace and defence.

Vanadium’s traditional market in steel making has recently experienced a structural change from both supply and demand – in addition, the advent of the vanadium redox flow battery for grid storage has required a new supply-side response.

Wave identified the future need for new vanadium supply some years ago, and has engaged with key strategic projects which can support this market need in a sustainable fashion.

Copper mines can range from customized heap-leaching to both small and large-scale electrowinning and electrorefining facilities. Wave International have a highly experienced team of engineers to take projects from Feasibility into full scale production.

Wave has a track record in developing Copper projects for its domestic and International clients. Our mining and processing experts can take Copper/Cobalt, VMS type massive mineralisation, Porphyry Copper/Gold and pure play Copper projects from the mine into saleable copper concentrate world-wide.
