Lithium Slump Has Room to Run as Bearish Bets Mount in Guangzhou
Guangzhou futures have more than halved since contract’s debut
Exchange looks to prevent short squeeze as January expires
The swift and brutal decline in lithium prices may still have room to run as bearish bets mount on the Chinese futures market that trades the battery metal.
Prices on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange have more than halved since the bourse debuted lithium trading in July as supply overwhelms demand. The market is now approaching its first contract expiry in January, and the number of trades that need to be settled via the physical delivery of the metal has exploded higher.
In one corner, traders with long positions — wagers that prices will rise — are debating whether to throw in the towel and sell. In the other, short-holders are tempted to add to their positions in the belief that prices will drop further. But the latter camp risk a classic short squeeze if they get their assumptions wrong and are forced to buy lithium in a rising market to close out their positions.

FRENCH COMPANY ADIONICS, SQM: WHAT IS YOUR EDL METHOD?
#chile,#argentina, #bolivia, #lithium, #oscarvargasvillazon, #edl, #adionics,#sqm, November 22, 2023.
ADIONICS has a unique technology to extract lithium from brine. ADIONICS does is a process that is called a LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION process, i.e. compared to the other technologies. We have a continuous process in which there are 3 stages:
-An extraction stage at room temperature. 10-15 degrees Celsius
- One stage of washing, purification
-A stage of regeneration. Simple at temperature higher than 80 degrees Celsius
A medium called FLIONEX is used, which is a patented liquid extraction medium, which is a liquid that has the ability to go, select, extract a lithium and a chloride and we extract a LITHIUM CHLORIDE and only this, there is no boron extraction, there is no magnesium extraction, there is no potassium extraction, There is no sulfate extraction. And the selectivity is very high.
Second stage washing: The fact that our medium is a liquid medium, allows us to have simpler operations. It will be a continuous flow of FLIONEX that we put in contact with the brine, the FLIONEX is loaded into lithium chloride.
And the third stage that we call regeneration: that is, regeneration of FLIONEX is to extract the lithium chloride that is absorbed in FLIONEX to send it to clean water and have a final product that is a lithium chloride brine and nothing else.
The differentiating element of this technology is Selectivity: we can. Extract only lithium. Which allows us to make a very high purity of our lithium chloride, which is what allows us to have a very limited need for post-treatment, that is, that the richness of this process is in what we do not have after extraction, The other differentiation of our technology is the very limited use of energy and more importantly of natural drinking water.
This composition allows us to make A FIRST SIMULATION with a mathematical model.
And then we can also, with this simulator, have already what will be the AMOUNT OF BRINE that we are going to produce and the CAPEX and OPEX of the possible plant. That's a pilot that we use, they send us 150 liters of brine and we can do a continuous flow to show that the simulation works.
PILOTAGE
The next stage is to do a first pilot to really show the operational part of our process. There we either send A PLANT IN THE SALT FLAT And the plant allows us to demonstrate the ability to operate.
CLEAN LITHIUM 250,
And the last stage, let's say, OF PILOTING is what we call the CLEAN LITHIUM 250, for 250 tons of capacity per year, and it allows for longer tests, if necessary months.

AUSTRALIAN SOLAROZ PROJECT, IN THE SALAR DE OLAROZ, JUJUY, ARGENTINA. #chile, #argentina, #bolivia, #lithium, #lithiumenergy, #solaroz, #salarolaroz, #oscarvargasvillazon, November 7, 2023.
Today we will talk about this week's update on the SCOPING STUDY on these potential development paths for the Solaroz lithium project in the SALAR DE OLAROZ, located in Jujuy, Argentina. We'll talk about what has been evaluated.
Lithium Energy has been working with the engineering firm Hatch for a few months now, and in essence, the task they were given was to help them determine the best way to develop the SOLAROZ PROJECT IN THE SALAR DE OLAROZ.
As you know, the Solaroz project is located in the SALAR DE OLAROZ, where other important lithium companies are operating, such as ALLKHEM AND LITHIUM ARGENTINA (ex lithium americas).
In addition, Hatch also confirmed that they should continue to consider EDL technologies for Direct Lithium Extraction, they already have an agreement with the Chinese EDL company LANCHEN. which is a way to extract lithium from brines without the need to build ponds.
So the next step after the scoping study is to go straight to the FEASIBILITY STUDIES. And the first part of those, will now be to examine these conventional brine evaporation options to determine what the best path is.
maybe starting with a relatively smaller plant, maybe 10 or 15,000 tons per year and then scaling up or going straight to larger operations of 20 or 40,000 tons per year, which is the scale that our neighbors are operating on.
The latest reports from the owner of the Lithium Energy project highlight extraordinary progress at its Lithium Project in the SALAR OLAROZ located in Jujuy, Argentina.
This Australian company. Argentina has published a scoping study with financial metrics showing that its lithium brine project in Argentina could generate up to $1.15 billion a year. And that's for a lifespan of 19 years.
For 40,000t/y: The study's figures also show a pre-tax net present value NPV of US$3.9 billion and an IRR pre-tax internal rate of return of 44 per cent based on an operating cost forecast of US$4,611 per tonne of LCE lithium carbonate.
Management says the project's economics are based on an assumed lifetime price of US$25,000 per tonne of lithium carbonate.

Last week Tees Valley Lithium Ltd hosted a site visit at the Wilton International Chemicals park for our planned low-carbon lithium refinery. TVL were pleased to host members of the Australian Government, along with Benchmark Minerals and investors.
We’d like to thank those who attended the visit for their continued support, and the members of the Australia Government for their support in collaboration between Australia and the UK in the critical minerals sector.
TVL aims to reduce embedded carbon in the lithium refining process by producing lithium sulphate at the Port Hedland merchant refinery in Western Australia which will serve as a hub for Australian spodumene miners, enabling direct access to the growing European battery market. The refinery will aim to become the primary source of feedstock for the TVL refinery in the UK and able the production of low-carbon, battery-grade lithium hydroxide.
We’d also like to thank the team at Wilton International and PD Ports for hosting us at the site and their continued support for our project.
Alkemy Capital Investments looks forward to connecting WA lithium with European battery makers through our two subsidiaries, Port Hedland Lithium and Tees Valley Lithium Ltd, creating a more diversified and sustainable supply chain, enhancing energy security in the race to net zero.

Lithium price volatility supports shift to market-based pricing mechanism, spurs hedging
The [lithium] market is no longer controlled by a few major producers and consumers. The growth in demand from EVs has brought more players to the space, and with it, large volatility.
Traditional opaque, fixed price, long-term contracts are not befitting of the current market dynamics, so the move to contracts referencing a spot index was a necessity to increase transparency and enable a more efficient price discovery process.
Have your say on Fastmarkets proposes to discontinue its lithium contract price assessments to reflect the evolving lithium marketplace.
To provide feedback on the proposal to discontinue these price assessments, or if you would like more information about this consultation, please contact Dalila Ouerghi or Zihao Li by email at: pricing@fastmarkets.com. Please add the subject heading: “FAO: Dalila Ouerghi/Zihao Li, re: Discontinuation lithium price assessments.”
The consultation period for this price discontinuation will begin on Monday October 23 and will end on April 23, 2024, with changes taking place, subject to market feedback, from April 26, 2024.

Lithium: Who’s right and who’s wrong on the price outlook?
Posted on - 11 Oct 2023
Category - Features
It’s fair to say that in a 20+ year career of material strategy and price forecasting I’ve never seen as large a variance in both the near- and long-term as I have seen on price forecasts for lithium. A number of large investment banks are extremely bearish on the outlook for lithium prices, suggesting that they will go back nearly to where they came from in 2020, while industry specialists are much more bullish, with one producer suggesting to me a few weeks ago that prices would go back to US$80/kg. The small size of the lithium market and its...
