ALK is a margin based business so price of lithium not really a factor too much. We will make money on the refining, not the lithium, so whatever we’re buying and selling it for our margin will remain relatively steady.
For your reference, ALK’s forecasts are based on long term hydroxide price of $25,000 per tonne and it’s projected to remain above $30,000 per tonne even with lithium prices falling so ALK still economically viable even in the worst circumstances for lithium pricing.
