## Resource

Lithium Ionic CEO Blake Hylands and Mike Westendorf discuss the company’s latest binding offtake agreements with Yahua and Grand Chen, the rebound in spodumene prices, and the tightening lithium market. The conversation covers Lithium Ionic’s Bandeira project in Brazil’s Lithium Valley, project financing, permitting, China’s accelerating battery supply chain, lithium conversion capacity, and the potential path to production in H2 2027. The discussion also explores exploration upside, fines monetization, and why the market may be underpricing high-quality spodumene developers.
