21.11.2018  |  GlobeNewswire
SYDNEY, Nov. 20, 2018 - Emerging lithium-boron supplier, ioneer Ltd (ioneer or the Company) (ASX: INR) today announced the appointment of Fluor Corporation (Fluor) as the engineering and design firm to complete the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project (Project) in Nevada, USA. Fluor will also provide engineering, procurement and construction management services as the project advances.

The Fluor appointment follows the completion last month of the Rhyolite Ridge Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS). The PFS demonstrated the Project’s scale, long life and potential to become the lowest cost lithium producer in the world as well as the largest lithium producer in the United States.

President of Fluor’s Mining & Metals business, Tony Morgan, commented: “As one of the world’s largest undeveloped lithium-boron deposits and one of the largest greenfield resource projects in the United States, Rhyolite Ridge will be a flagship project for Fluor, our client ioneer and the United States. We’ve assembled a strong and highly experienced team to deliver this exciting project.”

Mr Morgan said Fluor appreciates the importance and relevance of Rhyolite Ridge as a major American lithium-boron project that will supply critical materials necessary for a sustainable future.

“Fluor’s integrated project team is one of the most experienced in the mining and processing industry with the resources, expertise and knowledge to meet the cost, safety and fast-track schedule needs of our client,” he said.

Managing Director of ioneer, Bernard Rowe, commented: “We are extremely pleased to have Fluor working with us to deliver the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project. Fluor was chosen because of its capabilities, integrity and proven track record of delivering value. A key aspect of Fluor’s selection was its strong and highly experienced technical team based in the United States.”
