ASX / MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT 23 June 2022
BMX pre-auction bid delivers spot sale of over
US$7,000/DMT
PRE-AUCTION SALE REFLECTS CONTINUED STRONG DEMAND CONDITIONS
Pilbara Minerals Limited (“Pilbara Minerals” or the “Company”: ASX: “PLS”) is pleased to
advise that it has achieved a new price for a spodumene concentrate cargo after accepting
a pre-auction bid ahead of its sixth scheduled digital auction on the Battery Material
Exchange (“BMX”).
A shipment of 5,000dmt on a 5.5% lithia basis was made available for sale to a select group
of registered BMX participants prior to the proposed BMX auction date of Thursday, 23 June.
The Company is pleased with the strong responses received from participants and has
accepted a pre-auction offer of US$6,350/dmt (SC5.5, FOB Port Hedland basis) with a 10%
deposit having already been received.
This offer of US$6,350/dmt equates to an approximate price of US$7,017/dmt on a SC6.0 CIF
China basis after adjusting for lithia content on a pro rata basis and freight costs. Shipment
is expected from late July.
The buyer has entered into a sales contract with the Company requiring an acceptable
irrevocable letter of credit to be presented during the first week of July 2022.
The Company expects to hold its next BMX auction in the second week of July 2022.
Pilbara Minerals incoming Managing Director and CEO, Dale Henderson, said: “This is an
exceptional outcome which provides further evidence of the unprecedented demand for
battery raw materials being experienced across the global lithium-ion supply chain at this
time.
"Contrary to recent suggestions that the market has peaked, the evidence we are seeing
at the coal-face with our customers, including this pricing outcome, suggests that
demand remains incredibly strong, with a continued healthy outlook for the foreseeable
future.”
