About Savannah
Savannah Resources is a mineral
resource development company and the sole owner of the Barroso
Lithium Project in northern Portugal, the largest battery grade
spodumene lithium resource outlined to date in Europe.
Through the Barroso Lithium Project
(the 'Project'), Savannah will help Portugal to play an important
role in providing a long-term, locally sourced, lithium raw
material supply for Europe's rapidly developing lithium battery
value chain. After the Environmental Licence was granted in May
2023 and the Scoping Study confirmed the economic potential of the
Project in June 2023, production is now targeted and on track to
begin in 2026. At that stage, Savannah will start producing enough
lithium (contained in c.190,000tpa of spodumene concentrate) for
approximately half a million vehicle battery packs per year, equal
to a significant portion of the European Commission's Critical Raw
Material Act goal of a minimum 10% of European endogenous lithium
production set for 2030. Savannah is focused on the responsible
development and operation of the Barroso Lithium Project so that
its impact on the environment is minimised and the socio-economic
benefits that it can bring to all its stakeholders are
maximised.
In June 2024, Savannah entered a
strategic partnership with AMG Critical Materials N.V., the global
critical materials business and established lithium market
participant. AMG has invested GBP 16m in Savannah in exchange for a
15.8% stake in the Company and a 5 year, 45ktpa spodumene offtake
agreement. This investment alongside existing cash provides
Savannah with the finance required to take the Project to a Final
Investment Decision point. AMG can increase its offtake to 90ktpa
for 10 years if it provides an acceptable full project funding
solution for the Project's construction.
The Company is listed and regulated
on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market (AIM)
and the Company's ordinary shares are also available on the
Quotation Board of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB) under the
symbol FWB: SAV, and the Börse Stuttgart (SWB) under the ticker
"SAV".
