PLS Group has secured a two-year offtake agreement with China-based Canmax Technologies for the suppy of spodumene concentrate. PLS will supply Canmax with 150,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate over two years, with an option to extend the deal for a further 12 months. The agreement includes a guaranteed floor price of $US1,000 per tonne, and CEO Dale Henderson has urged Western governments to consider implementing a floor price for lithium, as well as other incentives. The price of six per cent spodumene rose to more than $US2,000 per tonne in early 2026, compared with just $US575 per tonne in mid-2025.
