Taking a look at the top of the HotCopper billboards today: North American lithium producer Elevra Lithium (ASX:ELV) attracted strong forum interest after releasing three significant announcements.

The U.S.-facing company revealed it had purchased and terminated a spodumene concentrate offtake agreement at Moblan, had completed an equity raising comprising a fully underwritten $275 million placement plus SPP to raise up to a further $20 million to support growth, and then released a robust updated scoping study for expansion of the existing North American Lithium mine.

While Elevra Lithium had a wealth of Tuesday morning news, its share price remained steady at $13.74 with a market cap of $2.327 billion.

Also trending today has been Metallium (ASX:MTM). The metals explorer has reported that initial commissioning results have exceeded internal expectations in successfully completing a 12-hour continuous flash joule heating (FJH) reactor campaign at its Gator Point technology campus in Texas.

The company is pioneering a low-carbon, high-efficiency approach to recovering critical and precious metals from mineral concentrates and high-grade waste streams, and has been working on that tech since mid-CY25.

MTM is up around +0.85%, to 59.5¢ at lunchtime.

And finally, HotCopper users have been watching EV Resources (ASX:EVR) after its maiden drilling at the Los Lirios antimony project in Mexico confirmed a broad, laterally extensive antimony carbonate level.

The explorer’s received the first partial results in five of 15 completed holes from the Lirios 1 target. Antimony mineralisation was intersected in four of the first five drill holes, confirming lateral continuity of the CRD horizon.

EVR is down -18.2%, to 0.9¢, through to mid-Tuesday.

Looking wider, the S&P/ASX 200 is lower today, dropping ~35pts. The bottom-performing stocks in this index are DroneShield (ASX:DRO) and Life360 (ASX:360).
