Galaxy Resources Limited (ASX: GXY) ('Galaxy') advises that it has varied its existing Offtake Agreement with Yahua International Investment and Development Co., Ltd ('Yahua') to extend its term by a further three years to 31 December 2025.

The contract extension is conditional upon Yahua continuing to meet the terms of the current agreement up to 31 December 2022 and the parties agreeing a pricing mechanism for the period from 2023 to 2025.

Yahua has agreed to purchase a further 30,000 dmt of 6% Li2O spodumene concentrate during the remainder of 2020 and 120,000 dmt per annum of 6% Li2O spodumene concentrate from Mt Cattlin for each calendar year from 2021 to 2025 on a take or pay basis. Pricing for spodumene shipments sold up to the end of 2022 will be agreed between the parties on a spot cargo CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) basis. A pricing formula for the 2023 to 2025 period is to be agreed prior to the end of 2022.

This extended offtake arrangement with Yahua supplements Galaxy's existing spodumene concentrate offtake agreements with: Meiwa Corporation (Meiwa) for 55,000 dmt (+/- 10%) per annum of 5.7% spodumene concentrate up to 31 December 2022 on a take or pay basis and Yi Chun Yin Li New Energy Co., Ltd (Jiangte) for 45,000 dmt (+/- 10%) per annum of 6% Li2O spodumene concentrate in 2020 and 60,000 dmt (+/- 10%) per annum of 6% Li2O spodumene concentrate in 2021 and 2022 on a take or pay basis.

Pricing for spodumene shipments sold to Meiwa and Jiangte will be agreed between the parties on a CIF basis. The market continues to experience an extended period of weak demand across the entire lithium value chain. As previously advised, in order to maintain relationships with its valuable, long term customers who are also experiencing challenges in this market, Galaxy's near-term sales volumes and shipping schedules are dictated by the pace these customers can work through their existing inventory levels.

About Galaxy (ASX: GXY)

Galaxy Resources Limited ('Galaxy') is an international company with lithium production facilities, hard rock mines and brine assets in Australia, Canada and Argentina. It wholly owns and operates the Mt Cattlin mine in Ravensthorpe Western Australia, which is currently producing spodumene and tantalum concentrate. Galaxy is advancing plans to develop the Sal de Vida lithium and potash brine project in Argentina situated in the lithium triangle (where Chile, Argentina and Bolivia meet), which is currently the source of more than 40% of global lithium production.

Sal de Vida has excellent potential as a low-cost brine-based lithium carbonate production facility. Galaxy's diversified project portfolio also consists of the wholly owned James Bay lithium pegmatite project in Quebec, Canada. James Bay will provide additional expansion capacity to capitalize on future lithium demand growth. Lithium compounds are used in the manufacture of ceramics, glass, and consumer electronics and are an essential cathode material for long life lithium-ion batteries used in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as mass energy storage systems. Galaxy is bullish about the global lithium demand outlook and is aiming to become a major producer of lithium products.
