Galan Lithium

Quarterly Activities and Cash Flow Report

Galan Lithium Limited (ASX: GLN) (Galan or the Company) is pleased to present this Quarterly Activities Report for the quarter ended 31 December 2024, as well as activities up to the date of this release.


Highlights

  • Phase 1 operational works at HMW continue, with Galan being one of a few lithium companies in a position to move towards production due to the low- cost, high-grade nature of the project
  • Approximately 7,900 inventory LCE tonnes in the evaporation ponds. Lithium grades, flow and evaporation rates in line with Phase 1 DFS
  • Phase 2 HMW Mining Permit granted, securing the pathway for Galan’s continued development at HMW at an efficient commercial scale up to 21,000 tpa LCE
  • Independent benchmarking highlights HMW as being within the first quartile of the lithium industry AISC cost curve (1)
  • Candelas Mineral Resource upgrade provides Galan with total resources of 9.5 Mt LCE
  • Galan now placed within the global top 10 of lithium construction and production projects (by LCE mineral resource)(2)
  • Cash and liquid assets of A$3.6m at the end of the quarter. Chemphys placement funds of US$3 million received in January 2025; financing and offtake discussions progressing

Galan’s focus remains on its ongoing operational works at, and funding solutions for, the Company’s 100% owned Hombre Muerto West (HMW) lithium brine project in the Catamarca Province of Argentina.

The Company continues its phased development strategy at HMW and continues to work towards first production as a priority.

Commenting on the update, Galan’s Managing Director, Juan Pablo (JP) Vargas de la Vega, said:

“The 2025 year has started very positively for Galan as we continue to move towards initial Phase 1 production at HMW. With significant operational progress having already been made at the project, our focus is on securing the required offtake and funding to put HMW into production. The finalisation of the US$3m placement to Chemphys provides the runway to get to this point.

At Candelas we have been able to announce an increased Mineral Resource Estimate, which now places our HMW assets, by resource, in the top ten lithium construction and production projects globally.

To achieve all this at a time when the lithium industry world-wide is facing considerable headwinds and where other projects are stalled or being wound back is testament to the quality of HMW and its high- grade, low-cost resource. We are looking forward to the rest of 2025 with considerable enthusiasm.”

Top 7 Global Lithium Stocks in 2025

The lithium market faced continued pressure in Q1 2025 as oversupply and weaker-than-expected demand pushed prices to a four-year low, with the lithium carbonate CIF North Asia price dipping below US$9,550 per metric ton.

The broad market decline led many analysts to speculate that the market had bottomed and a rebound was imminent. This was further supported by production cuts in China and Australia aimed at stabilizing supply.

Despite near-term challenges, long-term prospects remain strong, highlighted by Rio Tinto’s (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) AU$6.7 billion acquisition of Arcadium Lithium, the company formed by the merger of Allkem and Livent.

4 Best-performing ASX Lithium Stocks of 2025

Global demand for lithium presents a significant opportunity for Australia, which is home to many ASX lithium mining stocks as the world's top lithium producer.

Australia’s abundant lithium reserves and strong mining sector, position the country as a key player in the battery value chain into the 2030s. However, rapid electric vehicle (EV) market growth projections drove increased lithium mining rates, leading to a global surplus.

Against that backdrop, Australia’s lithium sector faced headwinds in Q1 2025 due to falling global lithium prices and continued market oversupply.

California Touts US$540 Billion Salton Sea Lithium Discovery

Scientists have discovered an estimated US$540 billion worth of lithium beneath California’s Salton Sea, a finding that could reshape the global energy market and reduce US reliance on foreign lithium supply.

The Salton Sea, located in Southern California’s Imperial County, has long been considered an environmental concern due to its receding shoreline and rising air pollution.

Now, researchers funded by the US Department of Energy have confirmed the area holds approximately 18 million metric tons of lithium — far more than previous estimates of 4 million metric tons.
