(Reuters) -Australia’s Syrah Resources said on Monday that it had agreed with Tesla to extend the deadline to tackle an alleged default of their graphite supply agreement for the second time in two months as the miner works to keep its U.S. operations buoyant.

The Elon Musk-led automaker issued a default notice in July after Syrah allegedly failed to deliver conforming active anode material samples from its Louisiana processing facility for Tesla’s electric vehicle batteries.

Syrah said the original September 16 deadline, which was initially extended to November 15, had been further pushed to January 16, 2026.

“While Syrah does not accept it is in default under the offtake agreement, the parties have extended the cure date to 16 January 2026,” the company said in a statement.
