Goldman Sachs Engaged as Financial Adviser for the Delivery of the Kachi Project
SYDNEY, Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lake Resources (ASX: LKE; OTC: LLKKF) ("Lake" or the "Company") announced today that the operating entity of Lake's flagship Kachi lithium brine project ("Kachi") has retained Goldman Sachs as financial adviser in connection with exploring a potential strategic partnership for Kachi.
悉尼,2023年11月29日 /PRNewswire/ — Lake Resources (ASX: LKE;場外交易代碼:LKKF)(“Lake” 或 “公司”)今天宣佈,萊克旗艦卡奇鋰鹽水項目(“Kachi”)的運營實體已聘請高盛擔任財務顧問,負責探索卡奇的潛在戰略伙伴關係。
Lake currently owns 80% of Kachi, and ion exchange DLE technology provider, Lilac Solutions owns a 20% stake. Kachi plans to consider a range of funding alternatives, including, but not limited to, the introduction of a strategic partner, project finance, pre-payments from potential customers, and royalties. In particular, the strategic partner process will enable Kachi to widen the aperture of funding opportunities beyond the current Conditional Framework Agreements. This approach will allow Kachi to better optimize the economics of its offtake, in accordance with what has been seen in the market over the past year.
萊克目前擁有Kachi80%的股份,離子交換DLE技術提供商Lilac Solutions擁有20%的股份。Kachi計劃考慮一系列融資方案,包括但不限於引入戰略合作伙伴、項目融資、潛在客戶預付款和特許權使用費。特別是,戰略合作伙伴流程將使Kachi能夠擴大當前條件框架協議之外的融資機會範圍。這種方法將使Kachi能夠根據過去一年的市場情況更好地優化其收購的經濟性。
"As our Phase 1 Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for Kachi is targeted for completion next month, we are shifting our focus to the strategic delivery of this project", said Lake CEO David Dickson. "With delivery of Phase 1 of our proposed approach to project execution and the construction and delivery of a plant with a total capacity of 25,000 tpa of battery grade lithium carbonate in 20271, Kachi has the potential to be an important contributor to the world's lithium supply, bringing significant environmental benefits compared with other projects that employ hard rock and evaporation ponds."
Lake首席執行官戴維·迪克森表示:“由於我們的Kachi第一階段最終可行性研究(DFS)計劃於下個月完成,因此我們將重點轉移到該項目的戰略交付上。”“隨着我們提議的項目執行方法第一階段的交付,以及2027年總產能爲25,000噸的電池級碳酸鋰的工廠的建設和交付1,與其他使用硬巖和蒸發池的項目相比,Kachi有可能成爲世界鋰供應的重要貢獻者,爲環境帶來顯著的效益。”
The process for identifying a strategic partner will begin after the completion of the Phase 1 DFS for Kachi, which is still expected in December 2023. Kachi will look to select a strategic partner that can provide equity capital, as well as assist in mobilizing third-party project financing to fund the development capital expenditures for Kachi.
確定戰略合作伙伴的過程將在Kachi的第一階段DFS完成後開始,預計該階段仍將在2023年12月完成。Kachi將尋求選擇能夠提供股權資本的戰略合作伙伴,並協助籌集第三方項目融資,爲Kachi的開發資本支出提供資金。
