Corporate presentation summary
20 Jul, 2026Project overview and strategic significance
Owns Europe's largest spodumene lithium deposit, the Barroso Lithium Project in Portugal, with a 1Mt lithium carbonate equivalent resource, enough for over 20 million EV batteries and significant exploration upside.
Recognized as a European Commission Strategic Project and recipient of a Portuguese State grant up to €110m, with potential German government loan guarantee support up to $270m.
Targeting first production in 2028, aiming to supply a substantial share of Europe's lithium demand and support the region's energy transition and independence.
Project is unrivalled in scale in the EU, nearly double the next largest lithium project, and could eventually supply lithium for over 50 million EVs.
Market dynamics and demand outlook
Lithium prices have rebounded sharply, with spodumene prices up 175% since late 2025, and global demand for lithium expected to outpace supply from 2027.
European EV and battery storage markets are experiencing robust growth, with EV sales in Europe up 33% year-on-year in 2025 and battery storage expected to grow sixfold by 2029.
EU lithium demand projected to increase 12x by 2030 and 21x by 2050, driven by electrification and net-zero targets.
Global lithium supply faces constraints, with few new projects in the pipeline and geopolitical risks affecting African supply.
Financials, funding, and valuation
Market cap stands at £140m with no debt and a cash balance of £22m as of December 2025; 47% of shares are board- and staff-held, ensuring strong alignment.
Flexible funding strategy includes government grants, potential German loan guarantees, project finance, strategic partnerships, and equity markets.
Peer group valuations suggest significant upside, with potential for a 3x re-rating upon reaching production; current P/NAV is 0.26x versus 0.86x for producers.
Analyst price targets range from 8.0p to 18.5p per share, with recent large stakes acquired by strategic investors.
