Mineral Resources has reported a 2022-23 net profit of $244m, which is 30 per cent lower than previously. The result was marred by a $552m writedown in the value of its iron ore assets. However, revenue rose by 40 per cent to $4.7bn and underlying EBITDA was 71 per cent higher at $1.8bn. MD Chris Ellison says Mineral Resources is looking at bypassing battery manufacturers and chemicals producers to sell lithium directly to car manufacturers. He has also indicated that the company’s Yilgarn iron ore project is likely to reach the end of its mine life within three years.
