Hi Shiny
I apologise. i forgot that the FT restricts access on a link to subscribers only!
The article focuses on Chinese lithium producer Ganfeng but covers the wider battle between China and the US to grab as much lithium as possible for the EV supply chains.
A couple of quotes:-
"The Chinese Government's main gripe with the Lithium sector has been the risk that the price rise dents the market for Electric cars."
"Ganging said resource shortages and price spikes were mostly caused by the "mismatch between supply & demand" and that the best solution was "accelerating exploration and development of upstream resources".........
END OF QUOTES:
We can see Suzhou "accelerating" when it comes to PREM, using a pilot mine, probably followed by a fully fledged mine for both Zulu and the EPO further along.
This can only be good for us IMHO.
