SP Platts latest #lithium assessment. Carbonate & hydroxide near parity in China (both over $20k/t) as @Tesla expands the utilisation of LFP cells to the US (logical re price but what of CO2 footprint?) Ex-China hydroxide premium remains as LFP cathode is China

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday at a cement plant where the processing of lithium ore is being researched, CEZ chief Daniel Benes said the company was in talks with four partners, all from Asia, for the factory, which is likely to cost more than $2 billion.
The government has said it was in talks with Volkswagen and South Korea's LG 003550.KS. Industry and Trade Minister Karel Havlicek said on Wednesday that the government was negotiating with up to five potential partners.

And Babis seems to be very happy with his 51 % : "thus fulfilling our promise."
The Czech state regained control of Czech lithium through
@SkupinaCEZ
, where we have a majority stake. We entered Geomet, where European Metals Holdings had a 100% stake, by raising a capital of almost EUR 30 million, thus fulfilling our promise.
and in second tweet ; And if journalists are still making fun of it, let's hope they stop now. Because, of course, we keep our promises. Thank you especially to the Minister

Yes . Babis statement certainly contradicts the news item " CEZ wants to make a decision on the commercial use of lithium in 2023. Desicions ought to be brought forward to make good business sense .

Decision to mine is a fait accompli

In bilateral relations with Germany, the prime minister emphasized the need to develop a better transport infrastructure, as regards the United States, he called for a trade agreement between the EU and the U.S.”

VW might have to cut production further due to chip shortage .

All of these efforts are part of a push by automakers to secure reliable and steady supplies of battery metals. These tie-ups are also great for mining companies, which will not only gain a lucrative new customer base but also greater visibility on what resources the car industry needs and in what amounts. Above all, carmakers want to make sure that a situation like the global chip shortage that has been derailing vehicle production for months doesn’t happen again as EV sales take off.

Keep an eye out for
Lithium stocks. Macquarie has upgraded its lithium price outlook, which now reflects further tightening of the market fundamentals, as well as the emergence of a spot market for spodumene and a forward market for lithium carbonate.

"Electric vehicle sales and underlying lithium demand remains strong and given the lack of supply response we continue to see the lithium market in deficit," a Macquarie broker said.

"The emerging spot market has provided a key positive catalyst for lithium prices, which were already rising due to the positive market fundamentals.

“We now expect spot lithium prices to approach previous peaks in the next six months and upgrade our price outlook in the short and medium term.”

Cobalt down for Britishvolt , now they need some Lithium , I am betting Babis to announce he secured all these Lithium offtakes for Geomet with his own hands a week or two B4 elections only four weeks left .
