Oceana Lithium (ASX: OCN) Lists on ASX

Oceana Lithium Limited (ASX:OCN) (Oceana or the Company) is pleased to advise that it is set to commence trading on the Australia Securities Exchange (ASX) at 12.00 pm AEST today under the code “OCN”.

Highlights

  • $6m raised via oversubscribed IPO, including participation from cornerstone investor Sichuan Yahua Industrial Group, the third largest Lithium Hydroxide producer globally and major supplier to EV manufacturers Tesla, BYD Auto and Sinopec
  • Funds raised will be directed towards aggressive exploration of the Company’s 100% owned Solonopole and Napperby lithium pegmatite projects in Brazil and Australia
  • The Solonopole lithium pegmatite project is situated in the state of Ceara in the northeast of Brazil. Significant pegmatite mineralisation has been identified along an approximate 17km corridor within the Company’s exploration leases
  • Surface mapping and sampling has commenced on the Solonopole project following a site visit from Executive Director Sebastian Kneer in May
  • Oceana will rank targets for immediate drill testing upon completion of the initial sampling program and detailed review of the existing dataset. To date, none of the highly prospective prospects have been drill tested
  • The Napperby lithium pegmatite project is located in the Arunta Pegmatite field in the Northern Territory. A reconnaissance site visit was undertaken by the Company’s consultants in late April

The listing follows the successful and oversubscribed initial public offering (IPO) of Oceana, which raised $6m in new equity. This included a $1m cornerstone investment from Yahua International Industrial Group, the third largest lithium hydroxide producer globally.

The funds raised will allow Oceana to aggressively pursue the multiple mineralised outcropped pegmatites identified at the Solonopole lithium pegmatite project in Brazil, covering an area of 114 km2 and strategically located only three hours from the port of Fortaleza.

Based on their geochemical signature, the Solonopole pegmatites belong to the LCT (Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum) family of rare element pegmatites. High grade outcropping rock samples have returned assay values of over 9% Li2O and over 1% Ta2O5 . Over 15 historical artisanal mines have been identified on the leases to depths of less than 10 metres vertical depth.

Expert: African Lithium Key to China's Battery Supply Chain Dominance

With the global shift to electric vehicles (EVs) accelerating, China is cementing its dominance over the lithium supply chain by pouring investment into African mines, creating a new center of gravity for the battery metal.

Speaking at a recent industry conference, Claudia Cook of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence offered a sweeping assessment of how China is reshaping global lithium flows and why Africa will be crucial in the next decade.

Cook laid out in detail how China’s lithium strategy is evolving. As the world’s largest EV market, China needs a consistent, low-cost supply of lithium — but its domestic production is increasingly insufficient.

Inside Billionaire Gina Rinehart's Key Mining Investments

Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart has become a formidable force in the global mining industry.

After taking the helm of her father’s iron ore firm Hancock Prospecting in 1993, she embarked upon a diversification strategy that has vastly expanded her resource empire. Now Australia’s richest person, Rinehart has investments in many of the world’s most strategic commodities such as lithium, rare earths, copper, potash and natural gas.

One of those investments is Arafura Rare Earths (ASX:ARU,OTC Pink:ARAFF), which even in a low price environment for rare earths managed to secure nearly AU$1.5 billion in debt financing in mid-2024 to advance its Nolans project in the Northern Territory. With a 10 percent equity stake, Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting is Arafura's largest shareholder.

Lithium Africa CEO Makes Case for Lithium Investing Amid Bear Market

The CEO of Lithium Africa is making a case for investing in lithium during the current bear market, saying recent moves by major players such as Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) indicate confidence in the market's longer-term potential.

“(Rio Tinto) is the second biggest miner of commodities on the planet. And late last year, they did the Arcadium Lithium transaction, which is the second largest transaction in corporate history, and they've picked lithium," Tyron Breytenbach said during an interview with the Investing News Network.

"Shortly after that, they followed on with a big, multibillion-dollar investment in Chile. Again, the commodity they picked was lithium."

Rock Bottom: Strategic Window for Ground-level Lithium Investment in 2025

When lithium prices hit bottom, savvy investors know that’s exactly where the next big discovery begins — literally. Beneath the surface of global markets and remote exploration grounds, new opportunities are forming in the wake of a sharp price reset and renewed geopolitical urgency.

Macroeconomic and policy shifts in 2025 are creating ideal conditions for those willing to look past the headlines. While volatility in lithium prices has tempered short-term sentiment, the underlying demand trajectory remains strong. With governments reshaping supply chains to reduce reliance on China and accelerate the energy transition, lithium is emerging not only as a critical resource, but as a strategic investment theme with long-term upside.

For investors, this reset isn’t a retreat; it’s a rare chance to get in early, at ground level.
