Centenario’s first DLE plant has 24 kt-LCE/year nameplate capacity and reached 90% in June 2026, calculated on production days excluding maintenance days. At nameplate capacity, the optimised Ex-Works cash-cost target is $5,400–5,800/t-LCE in 2025 values, excluding royalties, export taxes, freight and additional corporate costs. The proposed brownfield expansion is phased in two stages; the first stage would add 11 kt-LCE of capacity, with its PFS completed and target FID by end-2027, subject to FID approval. Expansion is subject to exploration, permitting, community engagement, logistics and energy availability. Greenfield scoping studies have been launched, with the PFS timeline subject to outcomes and exploration permitting.
