Cash Sale Completed For Western Lithium Ltd

Lithium Power International Limited (ASX: LPI) (“LPI” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the sale of its wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Western Lithium Ltd (WLI) to Albemarle Lithium Pty Ltd (an Australian subsidiary of Albemarle Corporation).


As previously announced on 19 June 2023, the transaction involves the sale of 100% of WLI’s shares and comprises all cash-for-shares amounting to AUD$30,000,000 (thirty million Australian dollars), subject to a customary price adjustment to reflect WLI's liabilities as at completion. Out of the total consideration, approximately AUD$29,000,000 has now been received. The balance is contingent on certain tenement applications being granted within 18 months of completion.

The sale provides significant non-dilutive balance sheet strength to support financing and offtake negotiations with international financing institutions as LPI moves towards the construction of its flagship Maricunga lithium brine project in Chile.

Lithium Power International’s Chief Executive Officer, Cristobal Garcia-Huidobro, commented:

“The completion of this transaction provides the Company with immediate realisation of value of the WLI assets. This sale releases funds for the upcoming development of LPI’s flagship Maricunga lithium project in Chile. The financing process for Maricunga continues to move forward and more details will be announced as agreements are finalised.”

The lithium market continued to battle headwinds during the first quarter of 2025 as residual oversupply weighed on prices, pushing them to a four year low.

Weaker-than-expected demand to start the year also added pressure to the oversupplied market, resulting in the lithium carbonate CIF North Asia price to fall below US$9,550 per metric ton, its lowest point since 2021.

Major lithium-producing countries are, of course, home to a large number of lithium companies. Many of the world’s top lithium producers also hold significant reserves, and their reserves can give an idea of how much room those countries have to grow. At the same time, nations with high reserves may become more significant lithium players in the future.

Looking forward, lithium demand is expected to continue increasing. That’s because, together with metals such as cobalt, lithium is a key raw material in the lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles, and it is also essential for the energy storage sector.
