An update from International Lithium ( (TSE:ILC) ) is now available.
ILC Critical Minerals Ltd. has extended until February 27, 2026 its option to acquire 100% of Lepidico (Mauritius) Ltd., which owns 80% of the Namibian company holding the Karibib lithium, rubidium and cesium project, after an adverse arbitration ruling involving an offtake dispute and ongoing complex legal and regulatory approvals in Canada and Namibia. In exchange for the extension, ILC will provide an additional CAD$145,000 in working capital to Lepidico, structured so that the payments become non-recourse if the option is exercised but are added to Lepidico Canada’s secured loan obligations if it is not, underscoring both ILC’s strategic interest in consolidating control over Karibib and the legal and financing risks that still surround the transaction and its potential contribution to the company’s critical minerals growth strategy in Southern Africa.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:ILC) stock is a Hold with a C$0.02 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on International Lithium stock, see the TSE:ILC Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on TSE:ILC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:ILC is a Neutral.
The score is primarily held back by weak financial performance driven by a pre-revenue operating model, ongoing operating losses, and consistently negative cash flow. This is partially offset by a relatively conservative balance sheet with no reported debt, while technical signals are mixed and valuation looks low but is less reliable given limited operating earnings quality.
