What is the spodumene price CRE took in their faisability study ?
I'm asking because there was a news in LaPresse talking about the major price drop last year.
In one year, spodumene prices collapsed. The tonne, which trades at around US$975, was worth US$7,640 in January 2023. This plunge is notably attributable to what is happening in China – the market where we find the largest number of electric vehicles.
At the North America Lithium complex – owned by Sayona (75%) and Piedmont Lithium (25%) – we are way off the mark when it comes to prices. According to a feasibility study released last April, the promoters were counting on an average price of US$1,352 per tonne over the life of the mine (20 years). The shortfall is around 30%.
