Mineral Resources says its pivot back towards lithium is in full flight, as rapidly falling prices and Western Australias labour shortages hit its iron-ore operations.
Lithium prices are poised to keep rising after a nearly 300% gain in 2021 as battery demand surges on the heels of electric vehicle adoption.
Thanks to explosive EV demand, and constrained supplies, lithium prices are surging.

Soaring Lithium Prices Become Major Headache For EV Makers

04:00pm, Sunday, 16'th Jan 2022 OilPrice com
Electric vehicle (EV) producers and suppliers could be facing a major cost headache starting this year as prices for battery-grade lithium are poised to skyrocket. Prices for the metal are already trading at a record high of $35 per kilogram in Asia, and are likely to keep climbing to $50 per kilogram in the second half of 2022 and trade at around $52.5 per kilogram in January 2023, a Rystad Energy analysis shows. Interest in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries has taken off among manufacturers since early 2021. Rystad Energy, therefore, expects
The U.S. used to be a global leader in lithium production, but now has fallen way behind. Several domestic projects are in the works, but will it be enough?

Record High Lithium Prices Threaten The EV Boom

12:00am, Friday, 14'th Jan 2022 OilPrice com
Soaring demand for key energy transition minerals and supply chain issues have propelled lithium prices to record highs, threatening to unravel a decade of steady declines in battery costs. Lithium prices hit a record high at the start of 2022, and analysts say that the rally still has legs to continue even higher. The surging price of one of the battery packs key metals is already exerting enormous cost pressure on battery production, while demand continues to soar as nearly every major carmaker is developing electric

Green Revolution Sends Nickel Prices To Seven-Year High

10:45am, Wednesday, 12'th Jan 2022 Zero Hedge
Green Revolution Sends Nickel Prices To Seven-Year High Prices of rare earth metals used for battery making have soared in recent days as the parabolic growth in the electrification of vehicles forces automakers to lock in supplies. Nickle, one of the key components in lithium-ion batteries, hit a seven-year high on Tuesday, rising as much as 3.4% to $21,500 a ton on the news that Tesla signed a nickel supply deal with Talon Metals Corp''s Tamarack mine project in Minnesota. Notice how nickel trading on the London Metal Exchange marches higher as stockpiles continue to slump on increasing demand due to accelerated electric car production. On Monday, lithium prices hit a new record high . Lithium carbonate trading in China was about 300,000 yuan (just over $47k per ton), an increase of about six times from January 2021. Soaring prices come as electric-car makers, such as Tesla , report exponential growth in the US, Europe, and China. Lithium, nickel, and cobalt are the essential elements in battery technology powering electric vehicles that steadily replace combustion engines.

Theres a solution to Chinas lithium squeeze: electric vehicle battery recycling

08:10am, Wednesday, 12'th Jan 2022 South China Morning Post
There is a shortlist of things to consider when buying a modern electric car over a petrol or diesel, and for me they are:Not to look goofy. Electric vehicles (EVs) used to be weird, ugly vehicles that were tucked away at the back of motor shows as far away from Aston Martin, Maserati and Ferrari as you can get. Tesla changed that with the help of Lotus with its first roadster in 2008, and then the Model S. Other manufacturers realised this and some of the slickest designs from Porsche, Audi

Here''s Why Record-High Lithium Prices Are Here To Stay

07:45am, Monday, 10'th Jan 2022 Zero Hedge
Here''s Why Record-High Lithium Prices Are Here To Stay The price for lithium is hitting fresh record highs as the parabolic growth in the electrification of vehicles by major automakers increases demand. Mining companies worldwide are scrambling to increase production and develop new sources of the world''s lightest metal. China, the largest battery-producing country, reported last week that the benchmark price of lithium carbonate was about 300,000 yuan (just over $47k per ton), an increase of about six times from January 2021. Soaring prices come as electric-car makers, such as Tesla , report exponential growth in the US, Europe, and China. Lithium is one of the essential elements in battery technology powering electric vehicles that steadily replace combustion engines. As the share of electric cars increases, demand for lithium will increase; thus, conventional wisdom would suggest lithium prices will remain elevated until the battery industry develops new mining projects to expand output.
NEW YORK , Jan. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary The lithium market has witnessed high demand in recent years thanks to the increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs). Lithium proved to be an essential mineral for the electrification of vehicles as LiOH, a white hygroscopic crystalline material and an inorganic compound, is mostly used by lithium-ion battery manufacturers. Nowadays, many car manufacturers are venturing into battery manufacturing, like BMW Group for example, which has signed an agreement with Ganfeng Lithium, a lithium extracting company in China , for supplying LiOH for battery cells owing to the rising penetration of EVs. As a result, the global lithium market size was valued at USD 2.7 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8% from 2021 to 2028, according to data provided by Grand View Research. Far Resources Ltd. (CSE: FAT ) (OTC: FRRSF ), Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (NASDAQ: LITM ), Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: KNDI ), Lordstown Motors Corp. (NASDAQ: RIDE ), Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQMS ) Geographically, the Asia Pacific region dominated the market as it held the largest volume share of 56.3% in 2020 owing to the rapidly developing automotive, glass, and consumer goods industries in countries such as China , Japan , South Korea , and India .
Politicians have called for a pause in new mining contracts for lithium, which is in high demand for electric car batteries but is at the heart of a debate in Chile over mines, water rights and inequality.
