Latest Li-S Energy (ASX:LIS) News

Takeovers, mine studies and record quarterly updates drove the week, with buyers chasing companies that put hard numbers around cash flow, reserves and contract wins. Losses were just as sharp where traders sold into reopenings or questioned whether fresh capital and non-binding deals would turn into profits.
