  • 6 May 2025 - Lithium developer Lithium Ionic (TSXV:LTH) announced a resource update for its flagship 100%-owned Bandeira project in Brazil, which incorporated 60km of drilling between 2022 and 2024, and substantially grew the measured and indicated (M&I) share of resources to 22.3 Mt grading 1.34% lithium oxide (Li2O) for 0.615 Mt lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). This should bode well for future reserves conversions and future improvements to project economics (since the 2024 FS). Overall project resources also grew slightly, resulting in overall company lithium resources (including 2 additional smaller resources from other projects) growing by ~5% to 2.12 Mt LCE. LTH stock traded down a slight -1.4% on 6 May following this announcement (vs. our 14-companmy lithium hard rock developer peer group median performance of flat +0%), before closing down another -1.4% Wednesday (7 May) vs. peer group median down -1.6%, for a LTH market cap/t resource of US$40/t LCE ($12/oz AuEq) - which is a 42% discount to our 14-stock lithium hard rock developer peer group median $69/t LCE ($21/oz AuEq).
