I think you’ll find that the price has been heavily manipulated by the Chinese . They have been subsidising their own miners and driving the price down . The fact that a Chinese refiner is buying product from outside China ( or Africa ) makes me think that the product from these miners is unsuitable or unreliable . Why else would they bother ? Despite the negative sentiment , Lithium demand is increasing , some would say at slower than expected rates but eventually this price downturn will become an upturn . How long till that occurs , is the big question , not if it occurs .
