The going concern disclosure and the $258.75 million convertible note due in 7 months dominate the risk profile, despite strong operational cash generation at Cauchari-Olaroz. Watch for the Q3 2026 Stage 2 development plan, progress on the $130 million Ganfeng debt facility drawdown, and any refi plans for the converts. The ASX listing pursuit and PPG JV progress are secondary catalysts.
