Standard Lithium expands Trafigura offtake deal to 12,000 tonnes a year

Standard Lithium’s Smackover Lithium venture expanded Trafigura offtake options for the South West Arkansas lithium carbonate project. Trafigura volume can rise to 12,000 metric tonnes a year for 10 years, up from 8,000, on a take-or-pay basis. Extra 4,000 metric tonnes a year remains optional at Smackover Lithium’s election, preserving flexibility to place volumes with other customers. Total potential commitments reach 20,000 metric tonnes a year, including 8,000 with LG Energy Solution, topping the 18,000 target. Project debt financing work continues, targeting about USD 1.1 billion; FID remains targeted later this year, first production in 2029.
