Elevra reported a 15% production increase in the June quarter to over 54,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate and an annual production of 198,000 tonnes, exceeding the revised guidance. Operating unit costs were $853 per tonne, below the updated target range, while realized selling prices were suppressed by an older contract structure that has now expired. The company closed financing for the brownfield expansion of North American Lithium and plans a staged capacity increase to 220,000–230,000 tonnes. Elevra reported cash of $255 million at quarter-end and expects more frequent deliveries and improved realized prices now that the old contract terms have ended. » More on de.investing.com

Elevra Lithium has agreed to sell its interest in the Ewoyaa lithium project in Ghana to Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt for about $71 million in cash. Completion is expected in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and is subject to approvals in Ghana. The sale ends Elevra’s funding obligations and simplifies the project structure, allowing the company to focus more on its North American assets. The transaction is not tied to Huayou’s planned takeover of Atlantic Lithium; Elevra currently holds about 4.1% of Atlantic. » More on de.investing.com
