Stardust Power Inc. has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) for a significant supply of lithium chloride, a crucial feedstock for its planned Muskogee, Oklahoma refinery. This development is important as it addresses a core operational requirement for the company, especially in light of its previously disclosed 'going concern' warning and recent highly dilutive financing efforts. While the LOI is non-binding and subject to a definitive agreement, it signals progress in securing a diversified, U.S.-based supply chain for their battery-grade lithium carbonate production. Investors should monitor the execution of a definitive agreement, as this LOI represents a positive step towards operational viability amidst ongoing financial challenges.
