Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The agreement provides a tangible, multi-year revenue stream and strengthens ELMT's supply chain resilience, particularly as DoW and UK investments de-risk Allied critical-material sourcing. Similar cross-border off take agreements have historically driven multiple expansion and margin improvements when ramp timelines are met; e.g., early-stage mining partnerships with defense-related demand.
