Li-FT Power (LIFT.V) has received approval from the Superior Court of Quebec of an option to acquire the Renard mine site, the company said Tuesday.
Under the call option agreement with Stornoway Diamonds (Canada), which owns Renard, and 11272420 Canada, which owns Stornoway, LIFT may exercise the option for C$1 over a two-year period ending June 23, 2028.
The option period will be used to confirm the feasibility of repurposing Renard for lithium processing, determine the optimal transaction structure and negotiate definitive acquisition deals.
As consideration for the option, LIFT paid a C$12 million fee in cash.
