IberAmarican Lithium announced that it has entered into a business combination agreement with Strategic Minerals Corp., a producer of critical metals. When the deal closes, Chief Executive Officer Campbell Becher said his team plans to bring the mine back to steady production of tin and other metals, which could be an important catalyst for the company. "Telling investors that you have a cash-flowing asset is a different story than telling investors you've got a drill hold that doesn't have cash flow, it's a cost center, not a revenue center," Becher said. "So, we're looking to build out some revenue centers here, as well." "Our goal is not done here," Becher said. "Our goal is the exploration, development, production, and consolidation of assets in Spain to build a world-class mining company."
