IGO Targets Recovery at Greenbushes Lithium Mine After Production Guidance Cut IGO is working to restore performance at its Greenbushes lithium mine after operational problems led to reduced production guidance and higher cost expectations, with the asset now positioned as the company’s main long-term lithium operation as legacy nickel projects approach closure.
The turnaround effort at Greenbushes is closely linked to supporting downstream processing, including a lithium hydroxide refinery, so progress on plant reliability and fixing systemic issues directly affects how effectively IGO can use these facilities.
IGO shares last traded at A$6.89, with the stock down 22.2% over the past 30 days.
The Greenbushes performance questions put more weight on execution risk for IGO, since operational outcomes at this single complex now matter more to both earnings quality and how the company’s lithium-focused strategy plays out. Canlı Haber • Jun 24
Greenbushes Ramp-Up and Nova Closure Reshape IGO's Battery Metals Portfolio IGO reported several developments: commissioning and ramp-up of Chemical Grade Plant 3 at the Greenbushes lithium mine, a downgrade to FY26 Greenbushes spodumene production guidance with higher unit cash costs, the planned wind-down of the Nova nickel-copper operation by December 2026, and ongoing talks to exit its stake in the Kwinana lithium refinery with Tianqi Lithium.
These updates together reshape IGO’s asset mix, with Greenbushes taking a larger role in future lithium output. Nova’s closure and a possible Kwinana exit point to a narrower operating footprint focused on upstream battery metals.
The stock last traded at A$7.93, with the share price down 14.0% over the past 30 days. This performance highlights how closely sentiment around IGO tracks shifting expectations for lithium and nickel exposure.
The combined effect of lower Greenbushes guidance, asset rationalisation and CGP3 ramp-up puts execution risk and cost control at the centre of the IGO investment debate. Duyuru • Jun 23

IGO Faces Share Pressure as Greenbushes Production Variability Offsets Gains at Nova and Kwinana IGO shares came under pressure on Friday after the company flagged operational variability at the Greenbushes lithium mine, which weighed on investor sentiment despite higher lithium prices.
Nova nickel-copper operations reported stronger production and cash flow, which partially offset the impact of Greenbushes’ issues on group performance.
The Kwinana lithium hydroxide refinery continued to lift output but is still running below full capacity and facing input cost pressures.
The key tension here is between solid performance at Nova and a gradual ramp-up at Kwinana on one side, and operational challenges at Greenbushes and cost pressures on the other. These factors together shaped the market’s reaction.
For investors, the main watchpoints are how consistently IGO can stabilise Greenbushes production, and whether Kwinana can move closer to full capacity while keeping a lid on costs. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Jun 05

New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Cash payout ratio: 99% Dividend yield: 8.0% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

Albemarle Reportedly May Look to Offload 49% Stake in Greenbushes Lithium Mine to IGO Speculation is mounting that US-based Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB) may be considering selling down its 49% stake in the Greenbushes lithium mine to its Australian-listed partner IGO Limited (ASX:IGO), after the world's largest lithium producer this month slashed jobs and shut part of a processing facility in Western Australia. Greenbushes in WA is a global standout, and there is scepticism about the market chatter, although IGO wants to buy more of the asset should it be available, say sources. IGO did not comment. One reason a sale may be on the table is that Greenbushes does not qualify for the Inflation Reduction Act benefits in the US because of its partial Chinese ownership of 25.1%. To quality, Chinese ownership would need to be 24.9% or less, although the US government may show some leniency. IGO and China's Tianqi both own 51% in a joint venture arrangement. US-based lithium specialist Albemarle owns the remainder. The Australian reported last month that Albemarle, Tianqi and IGO would be taking the brakes off the giant Greenbushes mine despite low lithium prices, with the mine set to lift production over the next year as IGO intensifies its hunt for growth opportunities.

South32 Limited Commences Proceedings Against IGO Ltd in the Supreme Court of Western Australia Regis Resources Ltd. (Regis) notes IGO's announcement (IGO Announcement) advising that South32 Limited (South32) has commenced proceedings against IGO Ltd. (IGO) in the Supreme Court of Western Australia (Supreme Court Proceedings). In substance, South32 is seeking a court declaration in relation to the interpretation of the Agreement for the Sale of Assets and Mining Tenements dated 1 August 1997 (as subsequently amended, assigned or novated) (the Royalty Agreement). Regis understands that South32 alleges that properly interpreted, it is owed royalty payments under the Royalty Agreement at the rate of 1.5% of gross revenue from 100% of production from the Tropicana Gold Project, and is also seeking interest and costs. IGO, being the current counterparty to the Royalty Agreement, has announced that it disputes the allegations and intends to strongly defend the claim. Regis is not a party to the Royalty Agreement or the Supreme Court Proceedings. However, Regis is interested in the outcome of the Supreme Court Proceedings because there is overlap in the area over which South32 is claiming a royalty is payable, and the Tropicana Gold Project. Under the Asset Sale Agreement for the 30% interest in the Tropicana Gold Project between Regis and IGO, Regis assumed liability for the royalty to the extent it may apply to any of the Tropicana Gold Project after its acquisition (Transferred Royalty). Also, under the Asset Sale Agreement Regis agreed to indemnify IGO for liability arising in relation to the Transferred Royalty on the terms of the Asset Sale Agreement. Regis' view at the time of the acquisition was, and remains, that no amount is due under the Royalty Agreement in respect of current operations at the Tropicana Gold Project, and Regis intends to take appropriate action to protect its position.
