The price for lithium is defined party to party, with contracts — so this means there is no central exchange and the price is a bit more opaque for the general public. Because of this, you will see most companies that are nearing a DFS (definitive feasibility study), to be entering into off-take agreements with one or more buyers, agreeing on a price for future delivery. You will see these contracts be for either lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide, and these may help either fund a portion of the construction or act as collateral in securing debt for project finance.

Australia, the heart of the Asia Pacific, is a young and prosperous nation that through ingenuity and determination was able to take advantage of its mineral resources to foster development, starting during the gold rush in the mid-1800s. In 2020, the mining sector accounted for approximately 10.4% of the economy, with minerals and fuels accounting for more than 50% of the country’s exports -more than mining contributes to the Canadian economy, at 42%, and the US at 14%-. The sector is expanding, driven by a huge demand for raw materials from the rapidly growing economies of Asia.

On the other side, hard rock lithium deposits can be put into production quicker, and the investment required is normally much lower, being a more straightforward mining operation. So if the company you are analysing has found a hard rock deposit, you can expect that they may need smaller capital raises, hence causing less dilution to current investors, than a comparable company promoting a brine deposit.

Most of the global lithium resources* -67%- are located in only one region, the so-called Lithium Triangle, an area of northern Argentina, Chile, and southern Bolivia. So even though Australia, Canada, and China are key players, if you want to position yourself well in this sector, you need to be exposed to South America. Or pick a company that has at least partial exposure to it.

It can be markedly easier to find lithium in brine, shortening the exploration process dramatically and at the same time making it less expensive. As a company exploring for lithium, your first clue in this path is, -you probably guessed this from #1- finding a salt pan. Of course, then you have to find out if there is actually a body of water underneath it, and if this brine contains lithium in an economically viable concentration. At this point, the lower limit used -equivalent to cut-off grade in a mine- is 250mg per litre, although new technologies may bring this significantly. Putting a brine deposit into production is more of a chemical processing operation than a mine, so you will see a difference in the management selected to take the project forward, very soon after confirming the project’s potential.

There are two main sources of lithium. You can find lithium in brine (where lithium is dissolved in subsurface water, located under the saline crust of a salt flat) or in hard rock, in minerals such as spodumene. And why does it matters which one?
