You need to do more research. What's the weight of these batteries. There is no better component than Lithium and so called new technology batteries are still using Li. Do you think that you know better than a multi billion dollar global company with a research team dedicated to future investments working around the clock. Do you not think they looked in to Sodium? Wake up man

I work for the second-largest mining company in the world and also the second-largest superannuation company in Australia. In my profession, I have the ability to work for thousands of top companies globally—there are always opportunities elsewhere. I don’t take anything personally from Jacob’s decision.
Both Rio Tinto and BHP aim to be leaders in the electric vehicle (EV) space. BHP has established a strong position in copper but has struggled to dominate the nickel market due to increased competition from Indonesia. This creates an opportunity for Rio Tinto to focus on consolidating its operations in lithium. Rio entered the lithium space as a strategic move to support the global energy transition and meet the surging demand for battery minerals. The shift also aligns with Rio's goal to diversify its portfolio and strengthen its position in future-facing, ESG-aligned commodities. The current decline in lithium prices is temporary, like any other commodity cycle in mining. When prices recover, Rio Tinto will be well-positioned to benefit from a high-quality assets with a lifespan of over 50+ years. There will be many upward cycles ahead, offering the potential to generate billions in profit from existing production. As prices decline, supply typically contracts because high-cost, small-scale producers are forced out of the market. This benefits large players like Rio Tinto, who can consolidate market share and capitalize when prices rebound.

Lol. Tell me you haven't researched the battery space without telling me.

Sodium ion will only ever represent a small percentage of the battery inventory. Suggesting there's a correlation between Jakob's resignation and the Arcadium acquisition is very flawed.

As for whether the relationship with the Mongolian government played a part, that's a different story.

Also, I would classify the Arcadium assets as a rare, long-life Tier 1 project. Less sold on the Rincon one.

UBS Just Downgraded Lithium Again !!!!

Last time they did it then PLS was $4.5 and now it is $1.24 ... lol

Below screenshot only talks about target for lithium only companies but the background was that they downgraded lithium

Now, go and tell UBS that you worked in tinny mine and did fly in fly out so you know lithium more then UBS

or go and ask question to UBS ... have you done enough research

Happy end of financial year season to everyone starting monday !
