Lithium Africa Corp.

Lithium Africa Corp., listed on the TSX Venture Exchange in February 2026, is a capital-efficient lithium exploration company focused on Africa's most prospective and underexplored hardrock pegmatite districts, with over 4,100 km² of exploration assets across six jurisdictions: South Africa, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Zimbabwe, Mali, and Morocco. The Company explores through a 50/50 joint venture with Ganfeng Lithium, one of the world's largest lithium producers, which matches its exploration spending dollar for dollar and brings downstream reach to Lithium Africa's on-the-ground expertise. In addition, the Company is acquiring a majority interest in its flagship Springbok Project in South Africa, held outside the joint venture. This past-producing spodumene asset, with more than 40 known spodumene-bearing pegmatites and district-scale upside, anchors a portfolio built to advance high-quality spodumene into the next lithium cycle.
