Liontown opens Kathleen Valley lithium operation in Australia

Australia-based battery minerals provider Liontown Resources has officially opened its Kathleen Valley lithium project, the country's first underground lithium mine. Liontown aims to achieve full underground mining operations at the project by September 2026. Situated in the northern Goldfields region of Western Australia (WA), the project is expected to initially produce 2.8 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), yielding 500,000 tonnes per annum (ktpa) of spodumene concentrate. Liontown plans to expand production to 4mtpa by its sixth year, yielding 700ktpa of spodumene concentrate. The company has established offtake agreements with electric vehicle and battery manufacturers Tesla, Ford, LG Energy Solution and Beijing Sinomine, to ensure stable demand for most of the initial production. Liontown managing director and CEO Tony Ottaviano stated: 'The Kathleen Valley lithium operation aligns with the national interest: it supports the energy transition, creates high-value and well-paid regional jobs, and is strategically positioned to strengthen supply chains in the west through our Korean and US offtake customers — everything our national critical minerals strategy is designed to achieve.' The Cook government has provided an A$15m ($9.7m) interest-free loan to Liontown through its A$150m lithium industry support programme to bolster ongoing operations at Kathleen Valley amidst current low prices. The government's support extends to a waiver of port fees, charges and mining tenement fees for up to two years, aiding Liontown during the critical ramp-up phase of the project. Liontown has also drilled two holes with the aid of the Exploration Incentive Scheme. This effort has broadened the company's knowledge of the site's geological features beyond the established resource. Mines and Petroleum Minister David Michael stated: "I would like to congratulate Liontown on opening the landmark Kathleen Valley lithium project, which is attracting skilled workers and strengthening local development. "The Cook government is proud to support Western Australia's lithium sector - a major employer, a key contributor to the state's economy and an essential part of the global transition to clean energy.' The official opening of the Kathleen Valley project follows the commencement of underground production in April 2025.

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (CRWD): I Sold Some For My Trust, Says Jim Cramer

We recently published . CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) is one of the largest cybersecurity companies in the world. Its shares have gained 46% year-to-date and have successfully recovered their 32% in losses between mid-February and March. However, while the stock is up since its March bottom, it fell by close to 6% in June after CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)'s midpoint quarterly revenue guidance of $1.145 billion fell short of analyst estimates of $1.16 billion. In his previous remarks about the company, Cramer has continued to remain bullish about the cybersecurity industry due to several factors, such as state-backed cyber criminals. Here are his recent thoughts about CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) in the aftermath of a Piper Sandler downgrade: 'I myself have sold some Crowdstrike for my charitable trust cause I said, alright, this is one of the greatest runs we've ever had. And I'm being, you know I don't like the fact that I'm being greedy. And I don't mean, George Kurtz watched the show, and I'm sorry George Kurtz, I just don't want to be part of that.' Security personnel at their consoles, monitoring a global network of threats in real-time. Previously, Cramer commented on CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) in the context of strength in the cybersecurity market: 'First positive area is cybersecurity. The dangers have never been greater, and the group's winners are bountiful because there's just so much business, because there are so many cyber criminals, and some of them are state-sponsored. We're doing something for the club that we've never done. We actually own two of them for the trust, two… We own CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks. It's rare for us to have two stocks in the same relatively small sector, but the companies are doing so well that I kind of wish we even owned the third… Still, Palo Alto and CrowdStrike are winning huge deals. And while their stocks have been volatile at reporting time, their long-term direction is clear: It's higher.' While we acknowledge the potential of CRWD as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
