Piedmont Lithium (PLL) experienced a 2.1% dip in early trading Thursday. The company has withdrawn its application for a debt package from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, citing costs associated with the process.

Piedmont Lithium Funding Challenges

Piedmont Lithium had ended its Tennessee lithium project, which had a $141M government grant. This move raises concerns about the company’s financing for its North Carolina project, projected to exceed $1 billion.

CEO’s Perspective

CEO Keith Phillips stated that there is no immediate urgency to proceed with the DoE loan application due to current market conditions and changes to the North Carolina plans. The company plans to manage cash efficiently.

Financial Impact on Piedmont Lithium

By the end of June, Piedmont Lithium had $59 million in cash. Earlier this year, it laid off nearly a third of its workforce and spent $1.9 million on DoE loan application-related costs.
