European Lithium (ASX: EUR; FRA: PF8; OTC: EULIF) has requested and received a trading halt for its shares on the ASX pending the announcement of a significant offtake agreement being finalised by its strategic partner, Critical Metals Corp.
Trading in European Lithium shares was suspended at the company’s request, with the halt expected to last until Thursday 11 December at the latest or until the offtake announcement is released.
The deal in question is described as a major supply contract, seen as a critical milestone for the Wolfsberg lithium project in Austria, potentially underpinning future revenue, validating product quality and supporting financing discussions.
The halt follows a recent regulatory setback, where an Austrian federal administrative court overturned an exemption from a full environmental impact assessment for Wolfsberg, adding permitting complexity.
European Lithium’s shares, which have been highly volatile in 2025, last traded at A$0.19 before the halt, after delivering gains of more than 350% year-to-date.
The impending offtake announcement is framed as a potential catalyst to refocus investor attention on project fundamentals and long-term demand for EU-sourced lithium in the context of the EU’s ReSourceEU strategy to reduce dependence on Chinese critical raw material supply.
