Bradda Head Lithium - North America-focused lithium development company - Reports lower interim pretax loss as posts gain on warrant fair value re-measurement.
Pretax loss in the half-year that ended August 31 narrows to USD1.2 million from USD2.1 million a year prior. General & administrative expenses widen to USD2.6 million from USD1.6 million. Firm reports a warrant fair value re-measurement gain of USD3.7 million, versus none a year ago.
Looking ahead, Chair Ian Stalker says: "The company is now in a strong financial position to rapidly and efficiently develop its existing lithium projects in Arizona and Nevada. The demand for US-based lithium production is forecast to reach over 350 kilotonnes per year of lithium carbonate equivalent by 2030, being a 7,000% increase from the current USA annual production of only 5 kilotonnes per year of lithium carbonate equivalent. Lithium has been classified as a critical element in the USA, with the Biden-Harris administration announcing awards of USD2.8 billion to accelerate US manufacturing of batteries for electric vehicles and electric grids."
The firm expects to complete a 30-hole diamond core drill at a San Domingo pegmatite project to complete in the fourth quarter of 2022.
