Fiscal Year 2026
-
Major operational milestones achieved at the Arkansas demo plant, with strong progress on offtake agreements and project financing for the SWA project. Q1 2026 saw a net loss of $2.7M, robust cash reserves, and continued advancement of East Texas assets.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Q4 2025 saw major project milestones, including a positive SWA feasibility study, strong financing interest, and a key offtake deal. Net loss rose due to one-time charges, but cash position is robust. SWA FID and construction are targeted for 2026, with first production in 2029.
-
Lithium demand is set for strong growth through 2026, driven by energy storage and global diversification, while supply constraints and few new projects are expected to support robust pricing. Major energy companies are entering the sector, and DLE technology is gaining traction for high-grade resources.
-
Definitive feasibility study for SWA confirms strong economics and resource base, with construction targeted for 2026 and first production in 2028. Recent $130 million equity raise and regulatory approvals de-risk project financing, while East Texas assets show significant growth potential.
-
Key milestones achieved in lithium project development, including federal critical mineral designation, $225M DOE grant, and completion of SWA phase I fieldwork. Q2 2025 saw a $4M net loss, strong liquidity, and progress on offtake and financing, with FID targeted by year-end.
-
Q1 2025 net loss narrowed to $1.6M from $7.7M year-over-year, driven by cost reductions and a $3M gain from Aqualung investment. Project milestones in Southwest Arkansas and East Texas are advancing, with strong liquidity and regulatory momentum supporting near-term execution.
-
Transitioned to a calendar fiscal year, secured a $225M DOE grant, and shifted focus to high-grade assets in Southwest Arkansas and East Texas. Achieved major cost reductions and de-risked DLE technology, with key studies and resource reports expected in 2025.
-
Net loss narrowed to $4.8M in Q1 2024, driven by cost reductions and operational efficiencies. Major milestones include a $225M DOE grant, exclusive technology agreements, and advancing key lithium projects in Arkansas and Texas. Ongoing market and regulatory uncertainties remain.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Secured a major partnership with Equinor and a $225M DOE grant, driving project de-risking and financial strength. Achieved rare net income for a pre-revenue company, advanced DLE technology, and shifted focus to lithium carbonate production.
