I sense some exasperation with the author :-), which nicely translates into a more agressive stance.
This is good. All that capacity of new battery factories requires much feedstock. The one that has our interest is Li, but Ni, Co and C are equally important.
It's good to deduct (I do) that the demand for Li at least, cannot be fullfilled by 2023. It's too late already, even today with still a couple of years to go. Benchmark has the correct argumentation.
Maybe Li market prices may go down short term, but only as long as battery factories keep on playing dumb.
Once they realize that the factories will only run at low percentages of capacity they'll get panicky (good for them, even better for us).
The thing is, that this may take some time, but they also might get the itch as soon as next week.
Longs have time and the above on their side.
Have fun
I thought the article was really negative against brine carbonate so that doesn't bode well for NLC. The additional cost is $2000/tonne to convert to hydroxide from carbonate so the cost is $5000/tonne as expensive as spodumene miners.
Where do you have the number from for the additional cost to convert from carbonate to hydroxide? Do you maybe have a link?
Thanks :)
