Lithium Ionic advances project financing with LOI for $266m
The funding represents 100% of the capital expenditure outlined in a May 2024 feasibility study.
Brazilian miner Vale SA has announced it will draw $5 billion from its revolving credit lines to strengthen its liquidity due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The company also announced an emergency aid package to its suppliers, paying in advance 160 million reais ($31 million) to its mid-sized and small suppliers.
Vale said it will pay more than 1,000 suppliers before they are due to help the companies deal with the sharp fall in economic activity. Construction workers in projects the company has suspended will still be paid, Vale said.
