On February 26, HAALA Energy, a leading Saudi solar energy developer and installer based in Jeddah, announced the successful completion of its Series A funding round, raising SAR 28.5 million to support its growing development pipeline. This round includes SAR 18.5 million in equity and SAR 10 million in debt, led by Fakeeh Investment Holding, the parent company of Fakeeh Care, a prominent listed healthcare company in Saudi Arabia. FINERGREEN served as HAALA Energy’s exclusive financial advisor throughout the process.

Founded in 2017 at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) Innovation Cluster, HAALA Energy quickly evolved from a solar installer to a key player in Saudi Arabia's solar industrial and commercial (C&I) segment. The company offers a range of vertically integrated services, including project development, installation, and operation & maintenance, serving off-grid and on-grid clients across the country. HAALA Energy also upholds the principle of employee ownership, with a substantial Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP) that attracts and retains top talent in the industry. The company plans to complete the 30 MW C&I project within the next three years and is currently negotiating with external investors to raise additional capital to accelerate and expand this goal.

FINERGREEN, a mergers and acquisitions and financing advisory firm specializing in the energy transition, supported HAALA Energy during this fundraising process, further strengthening its reputation in the region and demonstrating its commitment to continuing to support the growth of this market.

Vulcan Begins VULSORB Production for 24,000 mt/yr Lionheart Lithium Project in Germany, Targets 2028 Launch

Vulcan has started commercial-scale production of VULSORB, its proprietary adsorbent that selectively captures lithium from brine. The company will use VULSORB at its Lionheart lithium production plant, currently under construction in Germany and due for commissioning in the second half of 2028. Vulcan said VULSORB has completed thousands of operating cycles under real-world conditions, achieving lithium extraction efficiency of up to 95%. The adsorbent is aluminate-based, and Vulcan holds both the formulation and the manufacturing method. Vulcan noted that China, the largest global provider of adsorption-type direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology and products, placed export controls and strict licensing arrangements on overseas shipments in early 2025. Lionheart targets annual production of 24,000 mt of lithium hydroxide monohydrate over an estimated 30-year project life. Vulcan will focus on manufacturing VULSORB over the next 18-24 months ahead of Lionheart's commissioning and can license the technology globally through its VULTEC technology arm.

Anson Resources Inks MoU for 2,000-6,000 mtpa Lithium Carbonate Offtake from Utah's Green River Project

Anson Resources has signed an MoU with metals trader Wogen Resources and financing adviser Xcelsior Capital Advisors to evaluate a long-term offtake of 2,000-6,000 mtpa of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) from its Green River lithium project in Utah, US. The proposed initial offtake term is five years, with scope for larger volumes and a longer term. Xcelsior may evaluate investment or financing support for the project, including debt, product prepayment and strategic investment. Anson expects Green River to start production in 2029/30, subject to development, financing, permitting, construction and commissioning. Under the MoU, the parties will review technical information and representative product samples, conduct lithium carbonate product testing and qualification, evaluate logistics, infrastructure and delivered-product costs, assess financing structures, and negotiate one or more definitive agreements.

[SMM News] Argosy Minerals Completes Rincon Crystallisation Tests, Lithium Chloride Yield Above 99%

On the 21st of September, Argosy Minerals completed crystallization test work for its Rincon Lithium Project in Salta Province, Argentina, which has a planned capacity of 12,000 mtpa. The tests showed the process is designed to achieve a lithium chloride yield above 99%. An independent European technology provider ran laboratory scale continuous, semi continuous and discontinuous tests using lithium brine from Argosy's earlier solvent extraction pilot campaign. The tests covered evaporation crystallization and solid liquid separation, with a focus on impurity rejection and product specification. Product quality met proposed specification, and the process route of pre concentration, sodium hydroxide treatment, solid-liquid separation and evaporation crystallization can produce specification-grade anhydrous lithium chloride. The technology provider will use the data to complete the feasibility basic engineering package for the crystallization unit, scheduled for October 2026. Finalizing the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) still requires each major unit operation to be validated through laboratory and pilot scale testing, so Rincon's planned 12,000 mtpa capacity has not yet moved to the construction stage. Argosy holds a 77.5% interest in Rincon and 100% of the Tonopah Lithium Project in Nevada, US.
