Descriptiontext

Azure Minerals is a Western Australian mineral exploration and development company advancing the Andover Lithium Project in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia. The flagship asset covers 108 square kilometres with confirmed spodumene-bearing pegmatites across a 9km by 5km corridor; the project is held 60% by Azure Minerals and 40% by Croydon Gold Pty Ltd (a Creasy Group entity). Azure is pre-production and currently has no commercial revenue, and is positioning the asset as a long-life lithium concentrate supply for the global clean energy, EV battery, and renewable energy storage markets. Its core technology is conventional open-pit and underground mining of spodumene-bearing pegmatites with a planned processing plant producing lithium concentrate (spodumene), supported by tailings storage facilities, dewatering infrastructure, and an 80 MW natural gas-fired power station complemented by solar PV and battery energy storage systems. The company has lodged an EPA referral with the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority to advance permitting and has active partnerships with the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation and the Ieramugadu (Roebourne) community covering heritage, employment, and community investment.

Azure Minerals' corporate ownership was restructured in 2024 when it became a wholly owned subsidiary of SH Mining Pty Ltd, a 50/50 joint venture between Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (via SQM Australia Pty Ltd) and Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd (via Hanrine Future Metals Pty Ltd). SQM is among the world's largest lithium producers and Hancock Prospecting is a leading Australian mining house chaired by Gina Rinehart; the parent structure provides capital, technical capability, and an established global lithium distribution channel. Go-to-market is therefore an enterprise field-sales model routed through SQM's existing offtake relationships rather than independent Azure-led sales. The company is headquartered in West Perth with a field office in Roebourne near the Andover site, and is led by Managing Director and CEO Anthony (Tony) Paul Rovira, Chairman Peter Anthony John Ingram, and Company Secretary & CFO Brett Dickson. Pricing has not been publicly disclosed given the pre-production status, and revenue mechanics will depend on future offtake contracts, concentrate specifications, and prevailing spodumene market pricing once commercial production begins.
