💡Feb 20 (Reuters) - Sibanye-Stillwater (SSWJ.J) remains committed to its battery metals business, CEO Richard Stewart said on Friday, after a further 2.46 billion rand ($152.6 million) impairment of its Keliber lithium project in Finland.

🎐 The South African miner, which started off with three gold mines in 2013 before adding platinum to its portfolio, has in recent years acquired lithium, nickel and zinc assets in a pivot to metals used in renewable energy technologies.

🔍 Sibanye logged a total of 7.8 billion rand impairments at Keliber in 2025, citing a dim long-term lithium hydroxide price outlook. The company currently values the asset at about 9 billion rand.

⛓️‍💥 It cancelled plans in February 2025 to invest in the Rhyolite Ridge lithium project in the U.S. after the price of the metal slumped.

🎫 "Our long-term strategy as a company still remains to be able to supply metals that ultimately will support decarbonisation and an energy transition," Stewart said during a results call.

❇️ ???????????? ????????????????????

🖇️ Sibanye has opted for phased production from Keliber, starting with spodumene concentrate, while weighing the production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide at a later stage depending on the price outlook.

💎 Initiatives by the European Union 🇪🇺and the U.S. 🇺🇸 to reduce reliance on China 🇨🇳 for battery metals provide an incentive for projects such as Keliber, Stewart said.

⛓️ "We think this will have an impact on what the ultimate pricing layout looks like in time to come," he said.

🎯 Sibanye on Friday said its headline earnings for 2025 came in at 2.44 rand per share versus 0.64 rand the year before, buoyed by higher gold and platinum group metals prices. That helped the diversified miner declare its first dividend since 2023.

📎 Its earnings were boosted by a 39% increase in the average rand gold price and a 28% jump in the average South African 🇿🇦 PGM basket price.

💹 ($1 = 16.1524 rand)

Why is the "Holy Grail" of batteries always 5 years away?

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/zhiyong-meng-a90a2661_solidstatebattery-evtech-batteryengineering-activity-7431035364519321600-YEbk?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAACqICfIBDnVCtKiuX6gsoBWZSJ9pAt341yg

Spoiler: Physics doesn't care about your Marketing Roadmap. 🛑🧪

Solid-State Batteries (SSB) are the ultimate EV dream:

Double the energy density, zero fire risk, and ultra-fast charging. But as battery engineers, we need to talk about why your favorite OEM hasn't shipped them yet.

The transition from a Liquid Electrolyte to a Solid Electrolyte isn't just an upgrade; it’s a fundamental battle against Interface Physics.

The "Solid" Reality Check:

The Interface Impedance Nightmare:
In Li-ion, the liquid electrolyte flows into every nook and cranny, ensuring perfect contact with the active materials. In SSB, you are trying to press two solids together.
Maintaining that contact during the 10x expansion/contraction of the anode is an engineering nightmare.

The Dendrite Myth:
Many think solid electrolytes stop dendrites. Reality? Lithium dendrites can still "crack" through solid electrolytes even more aggressively if the mechanical pressure isn't perfectly uniform.

Manufacturing "Lab vs. Factory":
It’s easy to make a coin cell in a lab. But making a multi-layer pouch cell without a single microscopic air gap? That requires cleanrooms and pressure-vessels that make current Gigafactories look like hobby shops.

Why is it taking so long? ⏳

Because liquid electrolytes are "forgiving". Solids are "brittle". If you lose contact at the interface, your battery's internal resistance shoots up, and your "super battery" becomes a high-tech brick.

We are chasing the Anode-free dream, but we are still stuck solving Mechanical Stress.

Is SSB the future? Yes. Is it coming to your budget EV in 2026? Physics says NO. ❌

Engineers, what’s your take on the 'Solid' vs 'Liquid' debate? Are we over-hyping a lab-success before solving the manufacturing scale? 👇

We turned offtake interest into multiple agreements and kicked off construction activities at Pad #1.

The price of lithium is strong to kick off 2026, and Prairie Lithium is well positioned with a permitted project and tangible offtake interest.
