Seoul – – October 07, 2026 -- LG Energy Solution has signed a binding multi-year offtake agreement with Elevra Lithium for 240,000 dry metric tonnes of spodumene concentrate over four years, sourced from an already operational Canadian mine.

Supply Begins This Year From Quebec's NAL Project

Shipments will start later in 2026 from Elevra's North American Lithium (NAL) facility in Quebec, Canada, a producing asset rather than a development-stage project. This gives LG Energy Solution immediate access to a feedstock source without exposure to construction or ramp-up delays common in new mining projects.

Sarasota – October 07, 2026 -- 360 Orthopedics has become one of the first orthopedic practices in Florida to receive the Center of Excellence (COE) designation for workers' compensation care, a credential tied to measurable standards in access, documentation and return-to-work coordination.

Designation targets delays that drive up claim costs for employers and carriers

The COE evaluation assesses five operational areas: timely orthopedic evaluation and treatment, accurate medical documentation, communication among patients, employers, adjusters and nurse case managers, coordination of authorizations and follow-up care, and structured return-to-work planning. For employers and insurers, process delays in any of these areas can extend time away from work and increase claim complexity and cost.
