Lithium Australia NL ( (AU:LIT) ) has provided an update.
Livium Ltd has reported highly encouraging Stage 1 testwork results from its University of Melbourne microwave‑assisted rare earth extraction project, with leach efficiencies consistently above 90% for key magnet metals neodymium and praseodymium on larger sample masses. The optimisation program has also identified improvements in iron separation and will now focus on fine‑tuning microwave parameters and Fe removal, with completion of Stage 1 experimental work targeted by the end of February 2026; these results will feed into Stage 2 prototype reactor development and support an application for Australia Economic Accelerator funding. Under its existing agreements with the University of Melbourne, Livium holds exclusive global rights to commercialise the microwave technology for rare earth extraction for 20 years, positioning the company to develop a pilot plant and eventual commercial production at a time when Chinese export restrictions are heightening global concern over rare earth supply security, potentially enhancing Livium’s strategic role in Australia’s clean‑energy supply chain.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:LIT) stock is a Sell with a A$0.01 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lithium Australia NL stock, see the AU:LIT Stock Forecast page.
