Glencore PLCGlencore provides additional $2M financing and secures royalties and share pledge, strengthening its position.

Tantalex Lithium Resources Corp. has amended its convertible facilities agreement with Glencore AG and announced a proposed strategic partial divestiture of its wholly owned subsidiary Sandstone Worldwide Ltd. The amendments include an additional U.S.$2,000,000 in financing from Glencore, representing the undrawn portion under the initial agreement, and the addition of TTX Metals Ltd. as a guarantor. A share pledge agreement grants Glencore a security interest in 50% of Sandstone's shares, and new royalty agreements provide Glencore a 1% gross revenue royalty on tin, lithium, and tantalum from specified licences, with priority over separate 0.5% royalties granted to SLC Asia Pte Ltd. and Infra-X Minerals. The partial divestiture involves a term sheet with a lithium-focused exploration company to acquire a 50% interest in Sandstone for U.S.$4,000,000, consisting of U.S.$3,000,000 in shares and U.S.$1,000,000 in cash, while Tantalex retains its Manono Kitotolo Tailings Project. Interim funding of US$865,000 is being provided through unsecured convertible promissory notes to support operations, and the company continues working to resolve a cease trade order.
