Liberty Bell Bay Statement

Liberty Bell Bay

Attributable to a Liberty Bell Bay spokesperson: Liberty Bell Bay has faced a challenging 20 months due to the force majeure declared by its main ore supplier, a significant deterioration in market conditions worldwide, and rising costs. Production is currently paused. Workers remain on site on regular shift rosters completing maintenance and commissioning work, and all employees continue to be paid. LBB remains committed to finalising the submission of its financial statements to ASIC as soon as possible. It continues to pursue a sustainable future for Australia's only manganese smelter to protect 216 Tasmanian jobs and will resist any application to wind up the business.
