BRISBANE, Australia, Aug. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- North American lithium producer Elevra Lithium Limited (“Elevra” or "Company") (ASX:ELV; NASDAQ:ELVR) is pleased to announce that it has completed a transaction with Wildcat Resources Limited (“Wildcat”) regarding the Company’s rights, interests and obligations on E45/2364 in Western Australia (referred to as Tabba Tabba in Elevra exploration disclosure).
Under the terms of the agreement with Wildcat, Elevra has sold all of its rights, interests and obligations associated with E45/2364 to Wildcat, with Wildcat assuming full ownership, control and liability of those rights, interests and obligations (“Transaction”).
Transaction Consideration
Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction, Elevra will receive total consideration of $16 million plus an ongoing royalty (should Wildcat define a Pegmatite Mineral Resource on E45/2364) comprising the following:
- A$5 million in cash payable on completion;
- A$8 million in Wildcat ordinary shares, issued at a price of $0.353 per share;
- A$3 million in deferred cash payable six months after Wildcat announces a completed feasibility study for the Tabba Tabba Project; and
- Contingent cash payments of A$0.70 per tonne for each tonne of JORC Pegmatite Mineral Resource announced by Wildcat within E45/2364.
This combination of guaranteed and contingent payments provides Elevra with ongoing exposure should Wildcat have exploration success on E45/2364 while allowing the Company to realise immediate value.
The Transaction is consistent with Elevra’s strategy of allocating capital to further develop its core North American assets. Elevra will have no remaining ownership interest, rights or obligations in respect of E45/2364 but will retain the potential to participate in future value creation through the contingent royalty payment consideration on E45/2364.
Elevra’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Lucas Dow, said: "This transaction delivers an attractive outcome for Elevra by unlocking immediate value from a non-core asset through a cash payment which can be reinvested in near-term growth initiatives. The structure also allows Elevra to benefit if any Pegmatite Mineralisation is discovered on E45/2364. The transaction further simplifies our portfolio and allows us to maintain our focus on executing our North American growth strategy, including the NAL Brownfield Expansion and the advancement of our development pipeline."
Announcement authorised for release by Elevra’s Managing Director & CEO.
