IGO Limited is an Australian-based company engaged in the exploration, development and production of battery metals and precious minerals. The company’s portfolio spans nickel, copper, cobalt and lithium, with a focus on meeting the growing demand for critical minerals that support the global transition to renewable energy and electric vehicles. IGO’s assets include a combination of wholly owned operations and joint ventures, designed to deliver long-life, low-cost production and significant growth potential.
Key operations include the Nova nickel–copper–cobalt mine in Western Australia, which supplies high-grade concentrates to international smelters, and the Tropicana gold joint venture, operated in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti. In the lithium sector, IGO holds a material interest in the Covalent Lithium joint venture, which encompasses the Greenbushes lithium mine—the world’s largest hard-rock lithium operation—and an integrated downstream processing facility in Kwinana. The company continues to evaluate exploration targets and expansion opportunities across Australia and select overseas jurisdictions.
Founded originally as Independence Group in the early 2000s, IGO has pursued a strategy of disciplined growth through acquisitions, joint ventures and exploration success. In December 2018, the company rebranded to IGO Limited to reflect its broader focus on critical minerals beyond gold. Over the past two decades, IGO has built a reputation for operational excellence, strong stakeholder engagement and a commitment to environmental and social governance.
Headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, IGO is led by Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Peter Bradford, who joined the company following a successful career in resources project development. Under his leadership, IGO has bolstered its midstream and downstream capabilities, positioning the firm as an integrated supplier of battery-grade materials to customers in Asia, Europe and North America.
