Elevra Lithium PFS Confirms NAL Expansion: 373ktpa Production, C$943M Incremental NPV
ELVR has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $15.545.
Summary
Elevra Lithium's NAL Expansion Pre-Feasibility Study confirms a fully funded, high-return brownfield expansion that nearly doubles spodumene production to 373ktpa while cutting unit costs, with an incremental post-tax NPV8% of C$943M.

PFS Confirms 373ktpa Production Target
Post-expansion average annual spodumene concentrate production rises to 373ktpa (SC5.4), nearly double the 199ktpa base case and 10% above the May 2026 Scoping Study estimate of 338ktpa.

Expansion Economics: C$943M Incremental NPV
Expansion-only post-tax NPV8% of C$943M (US$699M), post-tax IRR of 49.9%, and post-tax payback of 34 months. Total initial CAPEX of C$366M (US$271M) with Stage 1 at C$92M, Stage 2 at C$101M, and Stage 3 at C$173M.
-
Unit Costs Fall to C$851/t Post-Expansion
LOM C1 cost of C$876/t (US$649/t) reduces to C$851/t (US$630/t) post-expansion, with AISC of C$918/t (US$680/t), driven by operating leverage from higher throughput.
-
Ore Reserves Underpin 20-Year Mine Life
NAL Ore Reserves of 47.2Mt at 1.12% Li2O (0.2Mt Proven, 47.0Mt Probable) solely underpin the expansion production profile with a revised life of mine of 20 years.
Analysis · ELVR · Energy & Transportation
The Pre-Feasibility Study quantifies the NAL brownfield expansion economics for the first time. Post-expansion production rises to 373ktpa — nearly double the base case — while LOM C1 costs fall to C$851/t. The expansion-only post-tax NPV8% of C$943M (US$699M) and 49.9% IRR demonstrate a high-return growth project fully funded by the May 2026 Strategic Financing Package. This materially de-risks Elevra's growth thesis and provides a concrete pathway to significantly higher cash flow generation from mid-2027.
