Elevra Lithium ELVR

Elevra Lithium Limited is a lithium mining company engaged in the production of spodumene concentrate from hard rock deposits. The company is dual-listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: ELV) and Nasdaq (NASDAQ: ELVR) with headquarters at Level 28, 10 Eagle Street, Brisbane, Queensland 4000, Australia. Elevra Lithium Limited was formed in 2000 as Latrobe Group Ltd and rebranded to its current name following a corporate merger in 2025. The company focuses on the acquisition development and operation of lithium projects in North America Australia and Ghana to support the global transition to clean energy. Its primary business activities include mining ore processing and the sale of lithium concentrate to industrial customers. Elevra Lithium Limited's asset portfolio comprises the producing North American Lithium operation in Quebec Canada and four development stage projects: the Authier Lithium deposit near Val-d'Or Quebec the Moblan Lithium project in northern Quebec the Carolina Lithium project in North Carolina USA and the Ewoyaa Lithium project in Ghana. As of the reporting date North American Lithium operates at commercial scale while the other projects advance through various stages of feasibility study permitting and infrastructure development. Elevra Lithium Limited's strategy centers on optimizing existing operations expanding its resource base through project development and integrating into the lithium supply chain via strategic partnerships with technology and automotive companies.

Elevra Lithium Limited generates all revenue from the sale of spodumene concentrate produced at its mining operations with no revenue recorded during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 due to pre-production status. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 the company achieved revenue of AU$200.9 million all from Canadian operations. Revenue increased to AU$223.4 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 representing an 11.2 percent year over year growth. Geographic sales distribution showed 95.4 percent of FY2025 revenue destined for China and 4.6 percent for the United States. Customer concentration was significant with two clients accounting for 67 percent and 33 percent of FY2025 revenue compared to three clients representing 45 percent 29 percent and 25 percent in FY2024. The company's revenue model relies on long term offtake agreements including a contract with Tesla Inc for approximately 99000 dmt of spodumene concentrate annually from the North American Lithium project an agreement with LG Chem for 200000 dmt per year and a lifetime arrangement with Lithium Royalty Corp for 10 percent of production from the Moblan Lithium project. Additional revenue comes from spot market sales to chemical processors and battery material producers under market based pricing mechanisms.

Elevra Lithium Limited holds a significant position in the North American hard rock lithium sector with substantial mineral resources and reserves supporting long term production potential. As of June 30, 2025 the company reported attributable proven and probable mineral reserves of 44.0 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.19 percent lithium oxide across its key projects. The North American Lithium operation alone hosts 14.1 million tonnes of proven and probable reserves while Authier Lithium contributes 8.5 million tonnes and Moblan Lithium adds 20.7 million tonnes to the total resource base. Elevra Lithium Limited's nameplate production capacity of 200000 dmt of spodumene concentrate per year at North American Lithium positions it among the top tier hard rock producers globally. The company competes with major integrated lithium producers such as Albemarle Corporation which operates lithium hydroxide conversion facilities Sigma Lithium Corporation focused on hard rock mining in Brazil and Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S. A. a dominant lithium brine producer from the Atacama Desert. Additional competitors include Tianqi Lithium Corporation and Ganfeng Lithium Co Ltd with significant downstream processing capabilities and Australian hard rock miners Mineral Resources Limited and Pilbara Minerals Limited. Elevra Lithium Limited's competitive advantages include its Quebec location providing access to low-cost hydroelectric power and proximity to major North American automotive manufacturing hubs its integrated control from mine to concentrate through ownership of both extraction and processing facilities and its diversified project portfolio reducing reliance on any single asset. The company's strategic partnerships with technology leaders like Tesla and chemical producers such as LG Chem further secure market access and provide pricing transparency in volatile commodity markets.

Elevra Lithium Limited serves a specialized customer base consisting primarily of battery cathode manufacturers chemical producers and electric vehicle makers requiring high-purity lithium feedstock. The company's revenue is highly concentrated among a limited number of strategic partners reflecting the nature of long term supply agreements in the lithium industry. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 the two largest customers accounted for exactly 67 percent and 33 percent of total revenue demonstrating significant reliance on key off takers. In the preceding fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 revenue was distributed among three customers representing 45 percent 29 percent and 25 percent respectively. Elevra Lithium Limited maintains definitive offtake agreements including a contract with Tesla Inc for the supply of approximately 99000 dry metric tonnes of spodumene concentrate per year from the North American Lithium project with pricing tied to market indices and a term extending to September 2026 subject to possible extension. Another significant agreement exists with LG Chem Ltd for 200000 dmt annually under a four-year term from first shipment or upon delivery of the specified volume. The company also holds a lifetime arrangement with Lithium Royalty Corp granting the right to purchase 10 percent of Elevra's interest in production from the Moblan Lithium project at a market based discount. These agreements typically feature market linked pricing mechanisms with quarterly settlements and provide volume certainty for both producer and consumer. Additional sales occur through spot market transactions to chemical processors in Asia and North America where spodumene concentrate is converted into lithium hydroxide or carbonate for battery manufacturing. The customer base reflects the global lithium supply chain with Asian clients dominating due to regional battery production capacity while North American users benefit from the company's Quebec based operations reducing logistics costs for domestic automotive manufacturers.
