OREANDA-NEWS. AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V. ("AMG", EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: "AMG") is pleased to announce that it has awarded an EPC contract to Outotec Oyj, Finland, for the turnkey delivery of a lithium concentrate (spodumene) beneficiation plant at the Mibra mine in Brazil.

The annual production capacity of the plant will be 90,000 tons of lithium concentrate. The spodumene plant is expected to be operational in the first half of 2018.

AMG's recent marketing activities have reinforced the economic assumptions behind the project, including the plan for a timely expansion to an annual capacity of 140,000 tons of lithium concentrate.

The recovery of lithium-bearing minerals from existing tailings, a by-product of AMG's tantalum operations in Brazil, is expected to result in a cost-leading production process.
