    Sept 4 (Reuters) - Australia's Liontown Resources (LTR) said on Monday it recommended a revised takeover offer from Albemarle Corp ALB.N valuing the company at A$6.6 billion ($4.26 billion).

    The new offer price is A$3 per share, higher than A$2.50 the company received in March.

    Liontown's board determined that it will grant Albermarle, the world's biggest lithium producer, a limited period of exclusive due diligence, the company said.

    Liontown had previously knocked back an approach from Albemarle that valued the lithium developer at A$5.50 billion.

    Of Liontown's two prior proposals from Albemarle, the first offer of A$2.20 per share was on Oct. 20 last year, and the second of A$2.35 was earlier in March.
