Pilbara Minerals’ $400M Lithium Expansion: One Year On Pilbara Minerals has now passed the one-year mark since completing its $404 million P680 expansion at the Pilgangoora lithium mine in Western Australia. The project delivered a huge boost to site capacity, including the installation of the world’s largest lithium ore sorter and a brand-new crushing facility. What the Upgrade Was Designed To Do The P680 expansion was built to lift production by around 30%, improve ore recovery, and reduce waste. It also forms a key step in Pilbara Minerals’ longer-term plan to grow Pilgangoora toward a 1 million tonne per annum operation through future expansions. Government Support and Jobs The project was backed by $250 million in government loans through Export Finance Australia and the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility. Construction created more than 350 jobs, with ongoing roles added as the mine’s capacity increased. A Year Later — Is It Paying Off? With lithium markets shifting rapidly over the past 12 months, many investors are asking whether this major upgrade is delivering the results Pilbara Minerals expected. Early signs suggest improved throughput, stronger operational efficiency, and a foundation for future growth — but the company’s long-term performance will depend on market conditions and the planned transition toward the larger P1000 expansion. A Critical Asset for WA’s Lithium Future What’s clear is that Pilgangoora remains one of the world’s most significant hard-rock lithium operations. The P680 upgrade has strengthened its position and given Pilbara Minerals more flexibility as global demand for battery minerals evolves.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ...
Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.
