A Chinese company registered in the Cayman Islands has made a bid to buy up collapsed West Australian lithium miner Alita Resources.
On Friday KordaMentha, the administrators appointed to the miner in August, announced China Hydrogen Energy Limited had entered into a binding $70 million loan facility agreement to scoop up the business.

Most of the money would be used to pay out Alita’s major shareholder and secured creditor, lithium miner Galaxy Resources, which took on US$30 million (AUD $44 million) worth of debt from the company in August.
Alita owns the Bald Hill lithium and tantalum mine in WA’s Goldfields region, as well as a 15 per cent stake in the nearby Cowan lithium project.
