Lithium Argentina ( (TSE:LAR) ) has provided an announcement.
On March 20, 2026, Lithium Argentina AG entered into a loan agreement with GFL International, a subsidiary of China’s Ganfeng Lithium Group, securing access to up to US$130 million over a six-year term at SOFR plus 2.5%. The financing supports a broader framework to form a new joint venture that will consolidate Ganfeng’s Pozuelos-Pastos Grandes project with Lithium Argentina’s Pastos Grandes and Sal de la Puna assets into the PPG venture, where Ganfeng will hold 67% and Lithium Argentina 33% based on resources, capital contributions and technology inputs.
Under the deal, Lithium Argentina agreed to allocate up to 50% of its offtake from PPG’s initial development phase, capped at 6,000 tonnes per year of lithium carbonate equivalent, to the lender at market prices and, before PPG production starts, to sell Ganfeng up to 6,000 tpa of LCE from its unallocated Cauchari-Olaroz entitlement. The loan, prepayable without penalty and secured by Lithium Argentina’s equity in PPG, is conditional on the company securing additional capital to meet its January 2027 convertible note obligations, underscoring both its funding needs and its deepening strategic alignment with Ganfeng in Argentina’s lithium sector.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:LAR) stock is a Buy with a C$13.65 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lithium Argentina stock, see the TSE:LAR Stock Forecast page.
