Smackover Lithium, a joint venture between Standard Lithium and Equinor, signed a binding take-or-pay lithium carbonate offtake agreement with Trafigura for the South West Arkansas project. Under the deal, the JV will supply 8,000 metric tonnes per year of battery-grade lithium carbonate for 10 years starting at commercial production.

Standard Lithium said it plans to provide an update on customer offtakes and its final investment decision plans with its upcoming fourth-quarter 2025 earnings release and conference call.
