KoBold Makes Offer for Congo Lithium as Country Courts US, page-2131

When Manono's lithium makes it to market there will be a supply glut for decades, likely suppressing lithia pricing.

Some Chinese producers are currently putting mines into planned C&M; the only Aussie producer currently covering costs at these prices is Greenbushes.

Lithium prices are depressed, the problem being oversupply. Additional supply will only put further downwards pressure on pricing. This is not 2022.
