Latest Offtake Agreements News

EcoGraf has replaced its earlier Epanko announcement after ASX correspondence, setting out the assumptions behind a potential increase in Stage 1 production to 87,600 tonnes per annum. The higher-throughput case lowers estimated unit costs, but remains preliminary and is not yet the basis for project financing or a final investment decision.

Antimony Resources has moved closer to first production in Mexico, but its FY2026 annual report carries a material going-concern warning after a A$7.0 million loss and sharply reduced cash reserves. The company now faces the harder test of turning its Tecomatlán plant and Los Lirios project into cash-generating operations.

Kingsland Minerals has advanced its flagship Leliyn Graphite Project into pre-feasibility, backed by high-grade drilling, gallium testwork and a A$2.16 million capital raising. But the ASX-listed explorer finished FY2026 with only A$458,032 in cash and remains dependent on further funding.

Delorean Corporation’s SA1 Salisbury renewable gas project is more than 85% complete after the company returned to near break-even EBITDA in FY2026. But the annual report carries a material uncertainty over going concern, leaving commissioning, refinancing and new funding as critical tests for the ASX-listed developer.

EcoGraf’s underwritten share purchase plan raised $3.552 million, well above its $2 million target, after shareholders applied for the full oversubscription. The result gives the company additional funding while leaving the final issue price and dilution to be confirmed.

European Lithium reported a A$930.6 million FY2026 profit, but the headline result was dominated by a A$1.276 billion accounting gain after losing control of Critical Metals Corp. The company now heads towards an October vote on a merger that would fold its cash, CRML stake and mineral assets into a single NASDAQ-listed group.

APA Group will invest approximately $1.015 billion for an 80% stake in a new 400MW gas peaking plant in Queensland, backed by a 25-year inflation-linked hedge with CS Energy. The Brigalow project is targeted for completion in early 2029 and expands APA’s contracted power generation portfolio.

Athena Resources has expanded its Byro Magnetite Project resource to 76.3 million tonnes and begun drilling at Narryer, the prospect earmarked for potential early development. The progress came with a $1.11 million FY2026 loss, a non-binding joint venture and fresh funding still supporting an exploration-stage business.

Metallium has moved Flash Joule Heating from tiny laboratory tests to multi-reactor campaigns in Texas, backed by feedstock contracts, offtake and A$125 million raised during FY2026. Yet the ASX-listed group remains pre-revenue, lost A$42.8 million and says continued access to funding is a material uncertainty.

Liontown has approved a $389 million expansion of Kathleen Valley, targeting average spodumene concentrate production of about 780,000 dry metric tonnes a year from FY30. The project is expected to lower unit costs, but its economics rely on lithium price assumptions, execution and a production inventory containing 21.5% inferred resources.

Andromeda Metals completed key early works at its Great White kaolin project and achieved 99.9986% HPA purity at pilot scale. But a $98.9 million impairment, $3.2 million cash balance and material going-concern uncertainty leave funding as the decisive hurdle.

VBX has expanded the Wuudagu Bauxite Project’s resource to 143.2 million tonnes, but its FY26 accounts expose acute funding pressure, with just $301,208 in cash and an auditor warning of material uncertainty over going concern. The definitive feasibility study has been pushed into the first quarter of 2027 while the company relies on fresh equity, related-party funding and prospective strategic partners.
