Description
As at 31 December 2025
Lithium hydroxide conversion plant near Bunbury, Western Australia, wholly owned since the October 2023 MARBL restructuring (remaining 40% acquired from MRL; ~$180M consideration within a ~$380M payment). Construction of Trains 3 and 4 was stopped and Train 2 placed into care and maintenance in 2024; in February 2026 Albemarle announced Train 1 would also be placed into care and maintenance (estimated $150-225M of cash charges, primarily decommissioning, contract cancellation, severance and asset disposal costs), leaving both constructed trains idle with production transferred to other facilities.
