7 terms
total recordable injury frequency rate technical
"the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) also declined during the period"
Total recordable injury frequency rate is a workplace-safety metric that counts the number of injuries requiring medical treatment, restricted work, or lost time, scaled to a standard amount of employee hours (commonly per million hours worked). Think of it like counting car accidents per miles driven: it lets investors compare how safely different operations run, signaling potential costs, production disruptions, regulatory risk, and reputational exposure tied to worker safety.
trifr technical
"remained below the FY2026 TRIFR target."
TRIFR stands for Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate, a safety metric that counts work-related injuries that need medical treatment, restricted duties, or lost time, scaled per a set number of hours worked (commonly per million hours). It matters to investors because it acts like a company’s safety scorecard—higher rates signal operational and regulatory risks, potential costs, and management quality, while lower rates suggest safer, more reliably run operations.
memorandum of understanding financial
"signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mangrove Lithium"
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is a formal agreement between two or more parties that outlines their shared intentions and plans to work together. It acts like a handshake in writing, clarifying each side’s roles and expectations before any official contract is signed. For investors, an MOU signals that parties are serious about collaboration, which can influence future business opportunities and potential growth.
esia regulatory
"preparation of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) continues."
An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is a structured review that identifies how a project could affect the environment, local communities, and public health, and recommends measures to avoid or reduce harm. For investors, an ESIA signals regulatory readiness and risk level — like a home inspection that reveals hidden repair costs or safety issues — and can influence project timelines, required mitigation spending, and the likelihood of permits or financing being approved.
fob financial
"average realised selling price (FOB) of US$1,453/dmt."
FOB (Free On Board) is a shipping contract term that specifies the exact point when ownership, shipping costs, and liability for goods shift from the seller to the buyer. Think of it like handing over the keys when a car crosses a line: once the goods pass that point (often the seller’s dock or the ship’s rail), the buyer is responsible for transport, insurance, and any loss. For investors, FOB affects cash flow, inventory timing, and which party bears shipping risk and expense, all of which influence profit margins and balance-sheet reporting.
rom stockpile technical
"The feed grade of ore delivered to the ROM stockpile averaged 1.07% Li2O"
A ROM (run‑of‑mine) stockpile is a heap of freshly mined ore stored at a mine site before any crushing or processing. Think of it as a pantry of raw ingredients: it smooths out interruptions between digging and refining, affects how quickly a mine can deliver product, and signals whether production is building up or being drawn down—information investors use to judge future output, costs and short‑term cash flow.
li2o technical
"feed grade of ore delivered to the ROM stockpile averaged 1.07% Li2O"
Li2O (lithium oxide) is a chemical compound made of lithium and oxygen, commonly encountered as a white solid used in the production of lithium-based ceramics, glass and as an intermediate in battery material processing. For investors, Li2O is important because it represents a measurable form of lithium content and feedstock in the battery supply chain—think of it as a raw ingredient whose availability, price and purity can affect costs and production for companies making batteries and electric vehicles.

BRISBANE, Australia, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elevra Lithium Limited (“Elevra” or “Company”) (ASX: ELV; NASDAQ: ELVR) delivered a quarter of improved operational results, positive cash flow, and continued progress across its growth portfolio.

North American Lithium

  • North American Lithium (NAL) achieved, for the first time, two consecutive months without any recordable injuries and the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) also declined during the period, marking the third consecutive quarter in which safety performance has remained below the FY2026 TRIFR target.
  • Record revenue of US$81 million was up 22% quarter on quarter (QoQ). Year-to-date revenue of US$167 million was up 68% on the same period last year.
  • Mine development sequencing and waste stripping continued as planned resulting in ore uncovered for the quarter increasing by 25% compared to the previous quarter. The increase in available in-pit ore provided improved operational flexibility. Ore mining activity was aligned to production requirements, with 370,508 wet metric tonnes (wmt) mined, 5% lower QoQ.
  • Process plant utilisation improved to 94% which represents the best quarterly utilisation in operational history and is 5% higher QoQ. The improvement was driven by strong crushing plant performance and no planned shutdowns during the quarter.
  • Lithium recovery for the quarter was 66%, up 4% QoQ as efforts to improve ore sorting delivered feed with a higher lithium and lower iron content to the mill.
  • Spodumene concentrate production increased by 7% QoQ to 47,332 dry metric tonnes (dmt) at an average grade of 5.0%. High plant utilisation and process modifications improved production, and the Company currently remains on track to achieve its full year production guidance.
  • Spodumene sales were 55,526 dmt at an average realised selling price (FOB) of US$1,453/dmt. This was a 16% QoQ decline in tonnes sold, but a 46% increase in the average realised price per tonne as the Company continued to deliver tonnes into a strengthening lithium market.
  • Unit operating costs (per tonne sold) for NAL were US$884/dmt, a 9% increase compared to US$812 in the prior quarter, primarily reflecting the release of higher cost inventory associated with higher mining costs.
  • Elevra has only limited exposure to liquid fuel prices and reduced fuel availability, with diesel accounting for only ~5% of site operating costs and renewable hydroelectricity utilised in the process plant. Canada retains very high oil self-sufficiency with significant domestic production firming the supply chain for fuel within the country.
  • Capital expenditure of US$4 million for the quarter was related to various NAL sustaining capital projects.

Growth Projects

NAL Expansion

  • During the March 2026 quarter, Elevra announced an accelerated expansion approach for NAL which is designed to bring additional spodumene concentrate production online earlier than previously anticipated while optimising capital deployment and project sequencing1.

Management Commentary

Elevra delivered a strong March 2026 quarter, marked by improved operational performance at NAL, positive cash flow generation amid strengthening lithium market fundamentals, and continued advancement of key growth projects.

The March 2026 quarter marked an important period of operational execution, financial improvement, and strategic progress across Elevra’s portfolio. Following a challenging prior quarter, our team remained firmly focused on safety and operational discipline and delivered measurable improvements at NAL.

During the March 2026 quarter, NAL demonstrated an improved operating performance compared to the previous period. In response to challenging, transitory and temporary mining conditions, we implemented a set of targeted actions focused on recovery optimisation and production consistency. These initiatives have begun to deliver results – mining and processing performance improved sequentially, operational reliability increased, and production rebounded toward target levels. The performance reflects the resilience and discipline of the operating team and reinforces our confidence in NAL as a cornerstone asset within Elevra’s portfolio.

In parallel, we announced an accelerated expansion approach for NAL designed to bring additional capacity online earlier through a staged development pathway. Ongoing engineering work is advancing a three-stage expansion strategy intended to enhance capital efficiency, reduce execution risk, and align growth with market demand.

Financial performance during the March 2026 quarter was strong with 55,526 dmt sold at an average realised price (FOB) of US$1,453/dmt generating US$81 million in revenue. Our financial results demonstrate the leverage inherent in our portfolio as operational execution improves and market conditions strengthen.

Across our development portfolio, we achieved several important milestones. At Ewoyaa, the ratification of the Mining Lease by the Parliament of Ghana represented a major advancement towards de-risking and developing the country’s first lithium mine. At Carolina Lithium, we continued to proactively engage with local stakeholders and reinforce our commitment to transparency by hosting a town hall.

Recent geopolitical activity has driven significant swings in commodity markets and confirmed the importance of energy security through the development of local supply chains. To this effect, we announced a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Mangrove Lithium to explore collaboration opportunities in lithium refining and downstream processing. This engagement aligns with our strategy of participating more broadly across the lithium value chain while supporting the development of a North American battery materials ecosystem.

The March 2026 quarter reflected improved operational performance driven by focused execution and the operational actions implemented in response to challenges encountered in the prior quarter, demonstrating the resilience and adaptability of our operating teams. We believe Elevra Lithium is increasingly well positioned with existing production, scalable growth, and a strategy centred on disciplined execution and capital efficiency.

Health and Safety

Safety remains a core priority across Elevra’s operations, with performance during the March 2026 quarter continuing to exceed the Company’s targets. The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) declined during the period, marking the third consecutive quarter in which safety performance has remained below the FY2026 TRIFR target. North American Lithium achieved two consecutive months without any recordable injuries for the first time - which is an important milestone that reflects the growing maturity of safety practices at site. These results demonstrate the strength of Elevra’s safety culture, where risk management is embedded in daily operations and supported by an agile, operationally focused approach.

ESG and Community Engagement

Elevra continued to advance ongoing technical and environmental workstreams supporting key development projects. Environmental studies required for the NAL Expansion and the Moblan Project remain in progress, forming a foundation for permitting, project design, and development outcomes. In addition, the Company completed its first self-assessment submission under Canada’s Towards Sustainable Mining framework.

Community engagement activities also remained a key focus. At NAL, the Company engaged with members of the local Monitoring Committee to share updates on the planned expansion and provide early visibility on project scope and potential impacts. In North Carolina, engagement continued with local stakeholders near the Carolina Lithium Project, reinforcing Elevra Lithium’s commitment to transparent communication, responsible development, and maintaining strong relationships with host communities as projects progress.

North American Lithium

Mining

Increase in ore uncovered provides increased operational flexibility and resilience.

Mining activity for the March 2026 quarter focussed upon the disciplined execution of the planned mine development sequence. Specifically, these efforts resulted in a 25% increase in ore uncovered which enabled greater operational flexibility. Ore mined for the March 2026 quarter was aligned to ore crushing requirements and totalled 370,508 wmt which was 5% lower than the previous quarter.

The feed grade of ore delivered to the ROM stockpile averaged 1.07% Li2O for the March 2026 quarter, which was an improvement from the previous quarter, while the iron content declined significantly.

Production

Production increased to 47,332 dmt of spodumene concentrate at an average grade of 5.0% for the March 2026 quarter.

The mill processed 346,324 tonnes of ore (down 1% QoQ) at an average feed grade of 1.03% Li2O, with increased focus on ore sorting performance at the ROM stockpile and the crushing circuit reducing iron content in the mill feed.

Mill utilisation was 94%, a 5% QoQ increase and 14% increase from the same period last year. This is the best quarterly mill utilisation since the restart of operations. There were no planned shutdowns during the quarter and crushing plant performance contributed to mill stability during the winter period.

The Li2O recovery for the March 2026 quarter was 66%, an increase from 62% in the December 2025 quarter. Improved feed grade (higher lithium content and lower iron content) contributed to the increase in recoveries, which was also aided by process modifications.

Elevra currently remains on track to achieve its full year production guidance of 180,000 – 190,000 dmt.

Sales

NAL revenue was US$81 million for the March 2026 quarter, as Elevra continued to recognise higher average realised selling prices amid a strong prevailing market.

This was the second consecutive quarter where Elevra recorded a new quarterly revenue record. The 23% QoQ increase in revenue was driven by a 46% increase in the average realised selling price per tonne (FOB) while spodumene concentrate tonnes sold declined by 16%. Total spodumene concentrate tonnes sold during the March 2026 quarter was 55,526 dry metric tonnes, with two cargoes sold during the quarter.

The average realised selling price (FOB) for the March 2026 quarter was US$1,453/dmt. Spodumene concentrate prices remained near multi-year highs throughout the quarter as the market remained tight amid a combination or strengthening demand and constrained supply. Demand expectations were supported by accelerating deployment of stationary storage and renewed interest in electric vehicles, driven in part by rising oil prices, while supply-side pressures persisted due to export restrictions in Africa and the continued closure of select Chinese mining operations.

A total of 20,462 tonnes of spodumene concentrate finished goods was stockpiled at NAL, in transit or at the Port of Québec as at 31 March 2026.

Sales volumes for the upcoming June 2026 quarter will be subject to a lagged pricing mechanism linked to average market prices applicable during October 2025-March 2026. The delivery of such volumes will bring the legacy contract with a lagged pricing mechanism to an end.

Elevra currently remains on track to achieve its full year sales guidance of 170,000–190,000 dmt.

Costs

Unit operating costs per tonne sold (FOB) for NAL were higher than the prior quarter at US$884/dmt sold with the release of higher cost inventory in the March 2026 quarter.

Unit operating costs per tonne sold increased 9% QoQ due to the release of higher cost inventory associated with higher mining costs.

Controllable costs during the March 2026 quarter remained elevated due to increased mining activity associated with Phase 3. This resulted in a 25% QoQ increase in ore uncovered and higher In-pit and ROM inventory at the end of the end of the March 2026 quarter, providing additional operational flexibility.

Rising energy prices at the end of the March 2026 quarter also contributed to higher costs but this was contained to the mining side of the operation, whereas ore processing expenditure declined by 16%. Diesel fuel for the mining fleet accounts for only ~5% of site operating costs and the processing facilities utilise renewable hydroelectricity.

Elevra currently remains on track to achieve its full year operating cost per tonne sold guidance of US$860-US$880 dmt.

Growth Projects

NAL Brownfield Expansion

The NAL Brownfield Expansion represents a key component of Elevra’s strategy to strengthen its position as a leading producer of spodumene concentrate in North America while leveraging existing infrastructure and operational experience at an established producing asset. In January 2026, the Company announced an accelerated expansion approach designed to advance production growth earlier than previously contemplated through a staged development pathway. The revised strategy reflects Management’s focus on capital efficiency, execution discipline, and responsiveness to evolving lithium market conditions.

The accelerated expansion approach is underpinned by a strong business case centred on maximising the value of NAL’s existing processing facilities, mining infrastructure, and workforce while reducing development risk. By sequencing capacity increases through multiple stages rather than a single large-scale expansion, Elevra aims to optimise capital deployment, shorten timelines to incremental production, and maintain operational flexibility as market demand continues to evolve. This staged approach also enables the Company to incorporate operational learnings from current production into future expansion phases, supporting improved recoveries, reliability, and long-term operating performance.

Work is ongoing to evaluate and refine the accelerated pathway, with further engineering and technical studies underway to assess sequencing, infrastructure requirements, and execution planning associated with the revised development strategy. In support of this approach, Elevra plans to update the Scoping Study in Q2 CY2026 and advance directly to detailed engineering to further de-risk execution and accelerate value creation at NAL.

Moblan

Fieldwork at the Moblan Project was completed and the information was incorporated into technical reports. Ongoing environmental work and associated permitting activities remain the core focus given permitting is the critical path for Moblan's development.

Ewoyaa

The Ewoyaa Lithium Project reached a major development milestone in March 2026 with the ratification of the Mining Lease by the Parliament of Ghana, providing legislative approval for Project development and marking a significant step toward establishing Ghana’s first lithium-producing operation. The milestone reflects support from the Government of Ghana following continued engagement with national authorities and local communities and extensive technical, permitting, and stakeholder workstreams progressed over several years.

While Ewoyaa is now fully permitted, advancement toward construction remains subject to prevailing lithium market conditions, attainment of suitable project financing and realignment of the joint venture structure.

Carolina Lithium

During the March 2026 quarter, Elevra continued to progress the Carolina Lithium Project through engagement with local stakeholders. Management hosted a community town hall in Gaston County, providing an opportunity to share project updates, discuss ongoing permitting efforts, and engage directly with residents and community leaders. The event reflects the Company’s ongoing commitment to transparency and constructive dialogue as development planning advances. In parallel, Elevra finalised the acquisition or lease of all properties within the permit boundary outlined in the May 2024 Mine Permit.

Western Australia

Morella Lithium Joint Venture Project

Elevra has a 49% equity interest in the Morella Lithium Joint Venture, which holds lithium rights in the Pilbara and South Murchison regions. The joint venture is managed by Morella Corporation Limited (ASX: 1MC).

At Mt Edon in the South Murchison, a 20-hole reverse circulation (RC) drill program for ~1700m was completed, testing rubidium-lithium mineralisation at the Sophie pegmatite system. Eleven of the holes intersected pegmatite intervals greater than 30m in width with a maximum pegmatite intercept of 84m in MER046. Assay results are pending8.

The programme has advanced the geological understanding of the Sophie pegmatite, defining key pegmatite domains across the prospect and supporting progression toward a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate at the prospect.

Tabba Tabba

Elevra holds the lithium and pegmatite rights over the Tabba Tabba project (E45/2364), where exploration is targeting gabbro hosted, flat lying spodumene pegmatite systems. The lease is well located being directly south and along strike from known lithium mineralisation.

In the North drill area, planning progressed for drill testing of a key zone of favourable geology along the western flank of the Corridor Gabbro. Drilling is also planned at the Pascal pegmatite cluster, 3km along strike to the south, where additional untested pegmatite occurrences are present.

Heritage surveying is planned, followed by initial RC drill testing scheduled for late calendar year 2026.

Corporate

Memorandum of Understanding with Mangrove Lithium

Elevra entered into a non-binding MoU with Mangrove Lithium to evaluate a potential long-term commercial partnership supporting lithium refining in North America. Under the terms of the MoU, the parties intend to assess the future supply of spodumene concentrate from NAL to Mangrove Lithium’s planned conversion facilities. The framework establishes a pathway for offtake volumes to align with project ramp-ups and downstream processing timelines while allowing both companies to advance technical collaboration, logistics planning, and commercial negotiations toward a potential definitive agreement.

The collaboration reflects the growing strategic importance of establishing an integrated North American lithium supply chain capable of supporting domestic battery manufacturing and energy transition objectives. By linking upstream lithium production with regional refining capacity, the MoU represents a step toward reducing reliance on overseas conversion markets and strengthening supply security for battery-grade lithium chemicals within North America.

For Elevra, the potential partnership offers several strategic advantages, including the opportunity to place committed volumes into a nearby refining hub and the prospect of materially reducing transportation distances relative to traditional export routes. Shorter logistics chains have the potential to lower shipping costs and reduce carbon intensity across the value chain, while positioning Elevra to participate more directly in downstream value creation as the North American lithium industry continues to develop.

Addition to the ASX 300

Elevra’s ordinary shares (ASX: ELV) were included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, as announced by S&P Dow Jones Indices on 6 March 2026. The inclusion reflects the Company’s continued growth in market capitalisation and represents an important milestone in Elevra Lithium’s evolution as a global lithium producer. The addition to the ASX 300 is expected to enhance the Company’s visibility within the institutional investment community and broaden its shareholder base.

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents increased by US$31.7 million to end the March 2026 quarter with a resulting balance of US$113.0 million (net cash US$58.7 million)9.

NAL generated profit from operations of US$32 million for the March 2026 quarter primarily due to higher realised prices, partially offset by higher unit operating costs and lower sales volumes compared to the previous quarter. Overall, NAL reported a net operating cash inflow of US$41 million as a result of profit generated from operations and favourable net working capital movements, driven by lower inventories and reclassification of US$2 million from other financial assets to cash relating to the release of cash backed guarantees for future rehabilitation costs.

Capital expenditure in the March 2026 quarter was US$4 million relating to various NAL sustaining capital projects.

The balance of the prepayment facility, which relates to advance payments based on the value of certain committed future sales of spodumene concentrate was US$54.3 million at the end of the March 2026 quarter (December 2025: US$54.9 million).

The Group reported a net operating cash outflow of US$5 million for the March 2026 quarter, comprised primarily of corporate expenditure.

Capital Structure

At 31 March 2026, the Company had the following capital structure:

  • 169,376,771 ordinary fully paid shares;
  • 2,723,613 unquoted options expiring on 31 December 2028;

About Elevra Lithium

Elevra Lithium Limited (ASX: ELV; NASDAQ: ELVR) is North America's largest hard-rock lithium producer with a diversified portfolio of high-quality assets across Québec Canada, the United States, Ghana and Western Australia.

Our flagship operation, the North American Lithium (NAL) mine in Québec, Canada has successfully ramped up production of spodumene concentrate, supported by ongoing operational enhancements to increase recovery rates, throughput, and mill utilisation. Following a Mineral Resource upgrade, Elevra completed a Scoping Study for a brownfield expansion to increase NAL’s annual spodumene concentrate production and reduce unit operating costs.

Complementing NAL, the Moblan Lithium Project in northern Québec represents one of the largest undeveloped spodumene resources in North America, with a Mineral Resource of 121 Mt @ 1.19% Li₂O. Development activities are progressing with feasibility studies targeting a large-scale, long-life operation capable of supplying both domestic and international markets.

In Western Australia, Elevra holds an extensive portfolio of lithium and gold tenements, where exploration programs are advancing to unlock additional growth opportunities. Meanwhile, in the United States, our Carolina Lithium Project offers a strategic foothold in the downstream lithium chemicals market and our project in Ghana provides a further option for future growth.

Looking ahead, Elevra is focused on strategic downstream partnerships to enable further value-added lithium production, positioning the Company to deliver a secure, sustainable supply of critical minerals to global customers. Together, these assets establish Elevra as a growth-focused supplier supporting the global energy transition.
