Aqua Metals Signs Five-Year Copper and Aluminum Offtake LOI, Completing Commercial Coverage of Three Project Headwaters Product Streams
Aqua Metals signed a five-year letter of intent with a leading Midwest metals recycler for the purchase of recovered copper and aluminum from Project Headwaters, which the company values at more than $105 million at current commodity prices.
The LOI contemplates purchase of up to 100% of commercially saleable copper and aluminum and follows the previously announced WMC Group lithium carbonate offtake framework, giving the planned facility commercial pathways for all three primary product streams before construction begins.
The agreement is non-binding and provides a 24-month window to negotiate a definitive offtake agreement, with product qualification expected as the initial phase of the facility begins producing material.
Management says the completed offtake coverage can help support project financing while reducing future commodity marketing and product-placement risk for the planned domestic LFP battery recycling platform.
