Rheinmetall Takes Stake in Rock Tech Lithium and German Plant, Bloomberg Reports

German defense company Rheinmetall reportedly took a stake in Canadian lithium developer Rock Tech Lithium and its German lithium-converter facility, Bloomberg reported. Rheinmetall participated as an investor in a capital raise Rock Tech announced earlier this month, and also joined as a strategic co-investor in the Guben, Germany lithium-converter project.
Rock Tech disclosed a C$6 million (about $4.2 million) private placement in early October that included a 'new strategic investor' also taking a stake in the Guben converter; the article did not specify Rheinmetall's exact stake size or investment amount.
Context: Rock Tech is a Germany- and Canada-based lithium mining developer, and the Guben facility has obtained all necessary permits. The article did not explain Rheinmetall's strategic rationale for the investment.

PLS Group Shares Rise as It Approves P2000 Lithium Expansion Final Investment Decision

Australian lithium producer PLS Group (ASX: PLS) approved a final investment decision for the P2000 project at its Pilgangoora operation in Western Australia, centered on building a new Jimmagunya processing plant, aiming to nearly double spodumene concentrate production capacity to about 2 million tonnes a year by 2029 (first production targeted for the September-quarter 2029).
P2000 capital expenditure is estimated at A$1.9 billion (the headline figure of '$1.3 billion' reported elsewhere differs from this body figure and could not be reconciled from the article), excluding a separately approved infrastructure investment of up to A$650 million; combined P2000-and-infrastructure spending for FY27-FY29 is projected at A$2.55 billion, peaking at A$1.3 billion in FY28, with FY27 capex guidance raised to A$1.11-1.175 billion. Funding will come from existing cash and operating cash flow, with debt financing to be considered if needed.
Key assumptions include a long-term spodumene concentrate price of $1,620/tonne, average annual production of about 1.97 million tonnes over the first ten years at full ramp, and average operating costs of about A$620/tonne; capital costs are 46% higher than the 2024 pre-feasibility study after inflation adjustment, reflecting mine-plan and processing-design changes. PLS shares rose 3.03% to A$3.06 Friday, outperforming the ASX 200's roughly 1% gain.
