Galan Lithium

Offtake Prepayment MOU

Galan Lithium Limited (ASX:GLN) (Galan or the Company) is very pleased to announce that it has entered into an offtake prepayment memorandum of understanding with Chengdu Chemphys Chemical Industry Co., Ltd (Chemphys) in relation to the Company’s Hombre Muerto West (HMW) project in Argentina (Agreement).


Upon execution of definitive agreements, Galan will supply and Chemphys will purchase a total of 23,000 tonnes LCE, as a lithium chloride product, over the first five years of Phase 1 production from the HMW project. Chemphys will also provide Galan with a US$40 million offtake prepayment facility to facilitate the continued development of Phase 1 of the HMW project. Key terms of the Agreement are featured in Table 1.

 

Managing Director, JP Vargas de la Vega, commented:

 

“I am delighted with this outcome. The high grade, low impurity lithium chloride samples Galan has been producing from the HMW pilot plant have been very well received by lithium converters leading to this agreement with Chemphys. Chemphys is a leader in processing lithium products in China and is a trusted partner to some of the world's largest battery manufacturers.

The offtake partnership and the financing prepayment will be foundational agreements for the HMW project and Galan. We look forward to the execution of the definitive agreements and further advancing the development of HMW in anticipation of first lithium chloride production in the second half of 2025.”

 

Chemphys Director, Alison Dai, commented:

 

“Chemphys is pleased to achieve this first milestone with Galan. Chemphys places great importance on the quality of the lithium supply and visibility of the supply chain. Galan is a great partner for Chemphys on these measures and we look forward to a strong relationship.”
