International Battery Metals ( (TSE:IBAT) ) has provided an announcement.

International Battery Metals reported third quarter fiscal 2026 results that underscore its push toward commercializing its modular direct lithium extraction technology, leveraging prior field operation of its MDLE plant as a differentiator. The company continued brine testing and technical evaluations in the U.S., Argentina and the Middle East, kept a disciplined cost structure while prioritizing customer engagement, and raised $2 million in new equity financing.

Financially, IBAT generated modest service revenue from brine testing and trimmed operating and SG&A expenses, narrowing its operating loss compared with a year earlier. A $3.8 million gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities swung the company to net income of $0.8 million, leaving it with $9.1 million in cash as management focuses on securing one or more commercial deployments of its DLE systems.
