Lithium Africa Resources

Company Profile:

Lithium Africa has consolidated a portfolio of hardrock pegmatite districts across five prospective regions covering over 2,500 km2 of exploration assets in Morocco, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Mali and Zimbabwe. The Company has established a 50/50 joint venture partnership with Ganfeng Lithium to jointly advance exploration in Africa (the “LAR-GFL JV”).

This investment model combines Lithium Africa’s world-class geological team, its network of African relationships with Ganfeng’s expertise in the lithium sector and its access to capital. The shared goal of the LAR-GFL JV is to unlock Africa’s untapped but immense geological potential together to deliver high quality spodumene in a sustainable manner into the next lithium cycle.

Management Profile:

Tyron Breytenbach spent a decade in the mining industry as a geologist (specialized in
resource estimation at Detour Gold) and then moved into international equity
analysis at Cormark Securities & Stifel Canada.

What do you see as the key risks and challenges facing your company at the moment and how are you overcoming these?

Lithium has been volatile, a new cycle is merging but this remains a risk.
Africa has it's own unique geopolitical risks, we manage via diversification and in country relationships.
Early stage exploration is inherently risky but offers the most violent reward, we manage risk and expense and spread our bets.​​​​​​​

What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?

Lithium Africa is an exploration company purpose-built to capitalize on the next cycle of lithium demand. Its strategic mission is to discover, de-risk and monetize Tier 1 lithium assets through data-driven targeting, aggressive fieldwork and value-driven exits. The company's unique 50/50 joint venture with Ganfeng Lithium is the cornerstone of its strategy, providing both financial leverage and industrial alignment at the earliest stages of project development.

Africa remains largely underexplored for lithium despite sharing geological similarities with major hardrock lithium belts in Canada and Australia. Lithium Africa is the first company to systematically deploy a multi-jurisdictional discovery strategy across the continent – combining top-tier geology with capital efficiency and strategic clarity.

What are the top 3 key investor takeaways?

​​​​​​​1) Exploration-focused Model: Lithium Africa focuses purely on discovery and value creation, with no intention to develop or operate a mine
2) Strategic 50/50 JV with Ganfeng Lithium: Doubles exploration spending and provides access to processing expertise and long-term downstream offtake partners.
3) Pan-African Footprint: Over 8,000 sq km of tenure across Zimbabwe, Morocco, Mali, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, and others – enabling diversification in discovery strategy.
