Tesla Inc.’s efforts to agree a lithium supply pact with Australian miner Core Lithium Ltd. fell through after months of negotiations against a backdrop of rocketing prices.

A deadline for concluding the terms of a four-year deal passed on Wednesday without any agreement, the Adelaide-based miner said Thursday in a statement. No reason was given for the failure to clinch a pact.
