Lithium Argentina AG reported its second quarter 2025 results, showing operational improvements with production at Cauchari-Olaroz reaching over 85% of capacity and costs declining to $6,000/t. Revenue totaled $64 million with an average realized price of $7,400 per tonne of lithium carbonate sold, impacted by global lithium price decline.
The Company is advancing its regional growth strategy for the Pozuelos-Pastos Grandes basins, aiming for up to 150,000 tpa of lithium carbonate equivalent through a Direct Lithium Extraction process. Cauchari-Olaroz is also planning a Stage 2 expansion to add 40,000 tpa of LCE capacity. Financially, Lithium Argentina held $68 million in cash as of June 30, 2025.
During the second quarter, Lithium Argentina reported a net loss of $4.1 million, driven by lower gain on financial instruments, higher equity compensation expense, and increased finance costs. The Company’s cost structure includes key non-GAAP financial measures like Cash Operating Costs and Total Cash Costs per tonne to provide insight into its operations.
