Lithium Argentina Cuts Costs in Q2
Lithium Argentina(NYSE:LAR) reported its second quarter 2025 earnings on August 11, 2025, delivering 8,500 tons of lithium carbonate at $7,400 per ton (down 8% quarter-over-quarter) and reducing unit operating costs by 8% quarter-over-quarter to $6,100 per ton. Management confirmed full-year production guidance of 30,000 to 35,000 tons for 2025 and secured $120 million in new credit facilities, while advancing strategic consolidation with Ganfeng and larger-scale regional growth plans.
Cash operating costs fell below feasibility study estimates due to newly implemented, structural changes, and production reached 85% of nameplate capacity. These results were achieved against a backdrop of increased market price volatility and an average realized price declining to $7,400 per ton.
Structural cost reductions increase the company’s ability to remain cash flow positive and competitive during lithium price downturns, supporting strategic stability and optionality for future growth.
