Albemarle Reportedly May Look to Offload 49% Stake in Greenbushes Lithium Mine to IGO Speculation is mounting that US-based Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB) may be considering selling down its 49% stake in the Greenbushes lithium mine to its Australian-listed partner IGO Limited (ASX:IGO), after the world's largest lithium producer this month slashed jobs and shut part of a processing facility in Western Australia. Greenbushes in WA is a global standout, and there is scepticism about the market chatter, although IGO wants to buy more of the asset should it be available, say sources. IGO did not comment. One reason a sale may be on the table is that Greenbushes does not qualify for the Inflation Reduction Act benefits in the US because of its partial Chinese ownership of 25.1%. To quality, Chinese ownership would need to be 24.9% or less, although the US government may show some leniency. IGO and China's Tianqi both own 51% in a joint venture arrangement. US-based lithium specialist Albemarle owns the remainder. The Australian reported last month that Albemarle, Tianqi and IGO would be taking the brakes off the giant Greenbushes mine despite low lithium prices, with the mine set to lift production over the next year as IGO intensifies its hunt for growth opportunities.

Albemarle Reportedly Selling Out of Liontown Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB) has appointed brokers to sell its stake in Liontown Resources Limited (ASX:LTR), three months after Hancock Prospecting effectively blocked its $6.6 billion takeover bid. JP Morgan was looking to sell Albemarle's 4% stake after the market closed, at prices ranging from $1.26 per share to $1.32 per share. With Albemarle holding 96 million Liontown shares, the deal will be worth about $125 million. The planned sale will be at a loss for Albemarle, which was understood to have acquired its stake at an average entry price of $2.35 per share. Albemarle attempted four times to acquire Liontown, which is developing the Kathleen Valley lithium mine in the Goldfields. The mine would have provided a new supply for Albemarle's downstream processing operations, including its lithium refinery at Kemerton in the South West. It lodged indicative proposals at $2.20 per share in October 2022, $2.35 in March 2023 and $2.50 later that month. It appeared to have succeeded in September when the Liontown board backed its fourth proposal - a takeover bid priced at $3 per share. However Australia's richest person, Gina Rinehart, ended the party after her private company Hancock Prospecting acquired a 19.9% blocking stake. Albemarle scrapped its takeover bid in mid-October, triggering a collapse in Liontown's share price and forcing the company to complete an equity and debt raising to ensure it could complete construction at Kathleen Valley. Hancock has retained its 19.9% stake but has been silent on its intentions. Aankondiging • Jan 12

Albemarle Withdraws Non-Binding Offer to Acquire Liontown Resources On October 15, 2023, Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB) announced that it will not pursue a binding agreement to purchase Liontown Resources Limited (ASX:LTR) and has formally withdrawn its non-binding offer to Liontown's board of directors. The decision comes as Albemarle nears the end of its exclusive due diligence process. "Our engagement with the Liontown team has been meaningful and productive. We appreciate the level of cooperation we have received, and we thank the entire team for their efforts," said Kent Masters, Chief Executive Officer of Albemarle. "That said, moving forward with the acquisition, at this time, is not in Albemarle's best interests."

Onsite auditors will interview mine management, department staff, mine workers and external community stakeholders; review relevant data and documents; develop corrective action items, and publicly disclose the audit summary. Once the process has been completed, a full report will be published on IRMA's website for public access. Prior to beginning the independent audit with ERM CVS, Albemarle was the first lithium producer to complete and submit IRMA's self-assessment process at the Salar Plant in February 2021. The third-party assessment covers 26 areas, including water management, human rights, greenhouse gas emissions, fair labor, and terms of work.
