Mining.com (Feb 2021): “Lithium price in China surges 40% to 18-month high”
Lithium prices are soaring in China on the back of heavy demand for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, a new report by battery supply chain research and price reporting agency Benchmark Mineral Intelligence shows.
“Global sales of electric vehicles (EVs) have slowly been taking off in recent years. While there were only around 17,000 electric cars on the world’s roads in 2010, this had swelled to more than 10m last year. Further momentum is likely to come as governments get more serious about tackling climate change. As they look to decarbonise road transportation, there has been a policy shift away from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles towards encouraging people to switch to EVs…”
“…lithium-based batteries seem certain to be a major part of the solution and companies producing the metal such as Bacanora Lithium stand to be major beneficiaries. The AIM-listed group is developing the Sonora deposit in Mexico and it reckons it is one of the most prospective lithium projects around anywhere.”
VSA Capital (Feb 2020)
“We have been convinced since our site visit to Sonora in late 2018 that BCN would be successful in securing project funding despite the challenges the company faced at the time. Now comes the execution phase and we are confident that the management team with its extensive experience of lithium mining and processing combined with that of industry leader Ganfeng will be able to successfully bring Sonora into production in 2023.”
