Lithium Royalty Corp. Announces Portfolio Updates

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lithium Royalty Corp. (the “Company” or “LRC”) (TSX: LIRC) is pleased to announce the following updates on several projects across its royalty portfolio.

Ganfeng Goulamina Royalty: In late December 2026, LRC completed its acquisition of its Trailing Product Sales Fee royalty on the Goulamina lithium project operated by Ganfeng Lithium Co, Ltd. (“Ganfeng Lithium”) in Mali, which entitled LRC to the Q4 2025 payment for this royalty. Based on information provided by the project operator Ganfeng Lithium, LRC expects to receive a Q4 payment of approximately US$2.9 million in March 2026.

Sigma Lithium Grota do Cirilo Royalty: On February 2, 2026, Sigma Lithium Corporation (“Sigma”) announced the resumption of mining activity at its Grota do Cirilo project in Brazil. On February 13, 2026, Sigma announced the sale of 150,000 tonnes of lithium fines at a price of approximately US$140 per tonne, with an additional 350,000 tonnes of lithium fines available for sale at prevailing market prices. In January 2026, Sigma reported that it sold 200,000 tonnes of lithium fines in two 100,000 tonne shipments at prices of USD$125/tonne and USD$140/tonne respectively.

Sigma further confirmed on February 13 that the resumption of production initiates client payments to Sigma under its recently established $96 million working capital revolving facility, strengthening Sigma’s near-term liquidity as the company ramps production back toward nameplate capacity. Sigma subsequently provided updated production guidance of approximately 240,000 tonnes on a 12-month forward annualized basis and approximately 520,000 tonnes on a 24-month forward annualized basis as Plant 2 construction progresses.

Ganfeng Mariana Lithium Royalty: In February 2026, Ganfeng Lithium announced that the Mariana Lithium Project conducted its first shipment of lithium chloride from the project. Ganfeng Lithium announced that 10 shipments of 24 tonnes each were shipped to China. This is a major milestone for the project as it records its maiden shipment from the Salta based lithium salar. Ganfeng Lithium is preparing expansion plans for Phases 2 and 3 under the Régimen de Incentivo para Grandes Inversiones (“RIGI”) in Argentina, with applications expected in 2026.

Core Lithium Finniss Royalty: On February 26, 2026, Core Lithium Ltd. (“Core Lithium”) announced the sale of its existing 5,100 dry metric tonne stockpile of spodumene concentrate through a fixed price agreement with Glencore International AG. The transaction reflects a Fastmarkets SC6 CIF China equivalent price of approximately US$2,023 per dry metric tonne, with proceeds expected to be received in the second quarter of 2026. Core Lithium also disclosed that it retains approximately 75,000 dry metric tonnes of lithium fines available for sale as it advances toward a Final Investment Decision on the potential restart of mining operations at the Finniss lithium project in Australia.
