Via its Karibib project in Namibia and unique IP, Lepidico is a vertically integrated lithium development business that has produced both lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide from non-traditional hard rock lithium-bearing minerals using its registered L-Max and LOH-Max processes.
In addition, in recent months, LPD has successfully completed extensive further pilot plant trials, raised over A$19m in equity and updated and upgraded its mineral resources (and reserves) at Helikon 4 and on surface (in the form of dumps etc) at both Rubicon and Helikon. In the light of these developments we have increased our valuation of LPD by approximately a third to 8.61c/share plus a further 0.65–1.59c/share for a risk-adjusted 20,000tpa LCE Phase 2 plant.

Lepidico’s (LPD’s) patented technologies produce lithium hydroxide (plus by-products) in an eco-friendly way from less contested minerals such as lepidolite. In May 2020, it announced a definitive feasibility study on its Karibib project, which was updated in November 2022 to show an NPV(8%) of US$530m (cf US$221m previously) and an IRR of 42% (cf 31%) from the production of c 4,900tpa battery grade lithium hydroxide (7,060tpa lithium carbonate equivalent, LCE, including by-products) over 14 years.
