The company stated that the transaction is part of its ongoing strategy to monetize stockpiled material and generate cash flow, alongside mining and development activities at Finniss. Total revenue from lithium sales in 2026 is expected to reach approximately A$28.5 million.On the restart progress, the Finniss project received full approval for restart in March 2026. Mining is currently underway at the Grants open pit, while development at BP33 is advancing in parallel. Bulk earthworks for non-process infrastructure (NPI) continue to progress, with the power station pad complete. Underground decline development remains on track to commence in July 2026. Core is actively exploring pathways for the sale of the remaining ~30kt fines stockpile.
