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.”

Green Technology Metals Boosts Market Position through Root Lithium Project

North America-focused Green Technology Metals (ASX:GT1,OTC Pink:GTMLF) has completed an updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for its Root lithium project in Ontario, Canada.

Green Technology Metals said that the PEA evaluated Root on a standalone basis, while the December 2023 PEA combined Root with the company's advanced Seymour lithium project. The new PEA took into consideration the recently updated Root Project MRE, revised pit optimisations and mine development options, and changed lithium market conditions.

“(The PEA confirms Root) as a technically and economically robust standalone operation,” Managing Director Cameron Henry said in an April 9 release. “With a longer mine life, reduced upfront capital requirements, and strong economics, Root is well-positioned to support GT1’s broader strategy of establishing a vertically integrated lithium supply chain in Ontario.”
