Welcome to the June 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.
June saw some controversy over lithium price forecasts and a very large amount of good news from the lithium juniors. Lithium prices remained very strong.
Asian Metal reported during the past 30 days, 99.5% China lithium carbonate spot prices were up 8.56% and China lithium hydroxide prices were up 0.88%. Lithium Iron Phosphate (Li 3.9% min) prices were up 0.84%. Spodumene (6% min) prices were up 9.16% over the past 30 days.
Benchmark Mineral Intelligence ("BMI") as of mid-June reported China lithium carbonate prices of RMB 476,000 (US$70,925) (battery grade), and for lithium hydroxide RMB 484,000 (US$72,125).
Metal.com reported lithium spodumene concentrate (6%, CIF China) price of CNY 32,935 (~USD 4,918/mt), as of June 23, 2022. See also Pilbara Minerals news where their BMX auctions are achieving much higher spot prices (just over US$7,000/DMT).
