Mining entrepreneur Tim Goyder became Australia’s newest paper billionaire on Wednesday after the first two days of what, by Thursday evening, could be a remarkable critical minerals treble.

The lithium developer that counts Mr Goyder as chairman and 17 per cent shareholder, Liontown Resources, will on Thursday publish a feasibility study into a new Australian lithium mine and hopes to spark the sort of market frenzy generated by Tuesday’s news that Mr Goyder’s Chalice Mining had made one of the best Australian mineral discoveries since the turn of the century.
