Global Advanced Metals (GAM), which is 80%-owned by Denver-based private equity firm Resource Capital Funds (RCF), said court dates have been set as it seeks a ruling on whether a proposed expansion at the world's largest hard rock lithium mine - Australia's Greenbushes - would unfairly impact its tantalum minerals rights there. Talison Lithium, a 49-51 joint venture between China's Tianqi Lithium and US-based Albemarle, only owns the lithium rights at Greenbushes and wants to double lithium output there by October. GAM said the hearing will take place at the Western Australia Supreme Court in mid-2019.
