In December, LPI announced completion of the ownership consolidation transaction, having acquired the remaining 17.4% interest in Maricunga from Bearing Lithium. Earlier the company completed the merger with Salar Blanco and now controls 100% of the project. This transaction allows the company to streamline the ownership structure, further de-risking the project ahead of the final investment decision. In other news, LPI commenced an inaugural drilling programme at its Greenbushes lithium project in Western Australia. The company remains committed to demerging its Australian lithium assets in H123. This should crystalise additional value to LPI shareholders.
