It is good to see that the lithium chloride sale is going forward. This is the fastest way to decarbonize the supply chain, but only if the Green+ Lithium Ark is applied (Lithium Ark)
Lithium Australia (ASX:LIT, OTC:LMMFF) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with First Phosphate Corp. (CSE:PHOS) about the potential development of a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium iron manganese phosphate (LFMP) cathode active material manufacturing plant in North America.
LIT, through its fully owned subsidiary VSPC Pty Ltd, has developed a proprietary technology for producing LFP/LMFP cathode active material (CAM).
To further this technological advancement, LIT is actively searching for a collaborator to facilitate the commercialisation of its LFP/LMFP technology. This collaboration would involve developing, constructing, and operating a demonstration plant, eventually leading to the establishment of a full-scale commercial manufacturing facility.

With the #battery raw materials market constantly evolving, how do you know who is in it for the long haul? #Vibrantz has been a trusted partner in manganese chemical production for over 60 years.
Next week in Las Vegas, NV, Zoe Ollagnon will speak at the Fastmarkets BRM Lithium Supply and Battery Raw Materials Conference. She will be sharing our IRA-compliant manganese production plans and demonstrating why we are leaders in this evolving industry.
We hope to see you there!

First Phosphate Corp (CSE: PHOS) CEO John Passalacqua said that LFP batteries, with their price and safety advantages, will be a “battery chemistry to flourish” in North America under proposed guidance on the clean vehicle provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) by the US Department of the Treasury last week.
Starting in 2024, to enhance the security of America's supply chains, eligible clean vehicles must not incorporate battery components manufactured or assembled by a Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC).
Additionally, from 2025 onwards, eligible clean vehicles must not contain critical minerals extracted, processed, or recycled by an FEOC.
The updated guidance aims to reduce dependence on foreign entities for key components in clean vehicles and critical minerals.

Every commodity has a cost curve, with low cost and high cost producers. Each cost curve can be broken down into specific segments, with their own low and high cost producers. This applies to Lithium, regardless of the source, i.e. brines, clays, lepidolite, petalite, spodumene, and so on, there are low and high cost producers. Grade is often the go to metric - its easy - but metallurgy, cost environment, and proximity to inputs (labour, energy, reagents) and end markets, are also very important.

Soochow Securities Co., Ltd. released its energy metal initiation report in February which included up to date commentary on the Chinese based lepidolite based lithium chemical supply chain, including a cost curve for integrated lepidolite to lithium chemical processors. The report confirms previous industry expert commentary identifying that, as per every raw material source for lithium chemicals, there are several very low cost lepidolite based integrated lithium chemical producers. Pan Asia Metals (ASX:PAM)’s RK Lithium Project has similar grades, is situated in a low cost environment in close proximity to all of its input requirements (labour, energy, reagents) as well as its end markets.
We are happy to announce, that the seminar "Lead & Zinc" will take place on 11th-13th September in Nordenham, Johannastraße 2.
In this regard, we would like to thank GLENCORE Nordenham for sponsoring this event!
Submit your abstract and title by May 3rd, 2024 and send it to fa-zinkgdmb.de/fa-blei@gdmb.de.
These are our focus topics for 2024:
1. Best practice operations (work safety, minimization of emissions, new technology-implemented, refractory)
2. Circular Economy recovery of valuables from complex primary and secondary feed materials
3. De-carbonization: roadmaps, available and upcoming technologies, role of hydrogen in Pb/Zn metallurgy
4. Process optimzation and control: measures and technology
5. Evolution of zinc and lead markets
6. Changes in regulatory space
7. Research update from relevant universities
8. How to extract process waste heat from matallurigcal process for utilization
We look forward to your active participation in the seminar!

Closures of high-cost assets to accelerate in Europe, northeast Asia – ICIS
Announcements of closures for high-cost assets, especially in Europe and northeast Asia, are likely to accelerate in coming quarters as the global petrochemicals industry is forced to rationalize, according to an ICIS analyst on Tuesday.
