"Chinese State have been pushing for a spodumene pricing mechanism linked to Li Chemical pricing."
Can you substantiate your statement?
I thought majority of Chinese buyers are not stated owners.
It sounds same as you posted your favorate brine company could avoid paying Agentina income tax. But the fact they paid the tax.
If WA lithium companies didn't agree the formula pricing, they could.
I think it would be similar to iron ore, initial pricing mechanism wasn't market linked, eventually changed to market linked pricing.
Lithium metal was in a niche market, still not very big at the moment, around 300kt LCE p. a, but electric vehicles alone will drive lithium demand to 1Mt LCE probably by 2025. If electric vehicle adoption fetches 50%, lithium demand from electric vehicles alone would be around 2.5 million tons LCE.
I think all lithium investors are bullish because of electric vehicle revolution.
DYOR.
