It’s been a busy year for LMG and our focus remains on construction completion and commissioning our Stage 1, Demonstration Plant in the Latrobe Valley.

We eagerly await the GHD work to determine the amount of fly ash that can safely be removed from the Yallourn landfill, ultimately determining the exact output of our Stage 2, 10,000+ commercial plant. 

Our 100,000 tpa mega-plant in Malaysia is our third staged project in our expansion pathway with respective land and project applications underway with local authorities along with preparations of signing non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) with potential equity partners.
