Welcome to the July 2022 edition of the "junior" lithium miner news. We have categorized those lithium miners that won't likely be in production before 2023 as the juniors. Investors are reminded that many of the lithium juniors will most likely be needed in the mid and late 2020's to supply the booming electric vehicle [EV] and energy storage markets. This means investing in these companies requires a higher risk tolerance and a longer time frame.
July saw a superb month of news for the lithium sector and the lithium juniors. The news of car manufacturer Ford (F) supporting (A$300m loan) a lithium junior so as to secure lithium off-take was the big news this past month. It was also a huge wake up call to the rest of the EV OEMs and battery/cathode/anode manufacturers that do not yet have security of EV metals supply.
Asian Metal reported during the past 30 days, 99.5% China lithium carbonate spot prices were up not updated (up 4.58% the past 60 days) and China lithium hydroxide prices were not updated. Lithium Iron Phosphate (Li 3.9% min) prices were up 1.32%. Spodumene (6% min) prices were up 2.91% over the past 30 days.
Benchmark Mineral Intelligence ("BMI") as of late June reported China lithium carbonate prices of RMB 469,000 (US$69,875) (battery grade), and for lithium hydroxide RMB 472,500 (US$70,400).
Metal.com reported lithium spodumene concentrate (6%, CIF China) price of CNY 33,761 (~USD 4,996/mt), as of July 22, 2022.
China Lithium carbonate spot price - CNY 475,500 (~USD 70,373)
