Lithium Ionic Corp ( (TSE:LTH) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Lithium Ionic Corp. has signed binding five-year offtake agreements with Sichuan Yahua Industrial Group and Grand Chen Resources to supply a combined 170,000 tonnes per year of spodumene concentrate from its Bandeira project in Brazil. The deals feature a minimum price of US$1,000 per tonne on a 6% grade basis, with no cap and no discount to market benchmarks, providing both downside price protection and full upside exposure.

Spark’s Take on LTH Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LTH is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue and ongoing cash burn despite improving losses). Offsetting this are improving technical momentum and positive corporate developments (feasibility report and fresh financing), while valuation remains constrained by negative earnings and no dividend support.
