It has been a champagne week for the ASX-listed lithium sector. The first-up boost for the sector came from Pilbara Minerals (PLS), courtesy of the spectacular price achieved in the second auction of spodumene concentrate on its newbie online platform, the Battery Material Exchange (BMX). Then there was Ioneer (INR) securing $US560 million ($A765m) in backing from South Africa’s Sibanye-Stillwater for its Rhyolite Ridge lithium-boron project in Nevada. PILBARA:

Energy on fire, but while uranium and lithium stocks surge, oil and gas peers struggle to capitalise

16th September 2021

Return of the boom, or a Reddit-fuelled feeding frenzy? That’s the critical question after a week which saw uranium catch fire, along with most other energy commodities, including lithium, oil and gas.

The answer to the question of whether the boom is back or whether the market this week was dominated by speculators outbidding each other for a slice of the resources pie, is probably a bit of both. Uranium, after a decade in the deep freeze which followed the Fukushima nuclear reactor meltdown in Japan, has stormed back into favour as an energy metal destined to play a role in transition away from fossil fuels.

Pilbara Minerals’ lithium prices race higher in BMX digital auction

16th September 2021

Pilbara Minerals has underlined the strength of the surging lithium market with an online auction of product revealing price gains of nearly 80 per cent in just seven weeks (reports The West Australian).

The Ken Brinsden-led company late yesterday revealed its recently initiated Battery Material Exchange digital auction for 8000 dry metric tonnes of 5.5 per cent lithium concentrate (spodumene) received a highest bid of $US2240/t.

The lithium boom just went to another level

16th September 2021

It’s the shot being heard around the mining world (reports Chanticleer in The Australian Financial Review).

Just after 7pm on Tuesday evening, Perth-based lithium producer Pilbara Minerals announced it had conducted just its second-ever auction on the Battery Material Exchange, a platform it launched in March to sell unallocated tonnes of spodumene concentrate from its Pilgangoora complex, 120 kilometres from Port Hedland in Western Australia’s resource-rich Pilbara region.

Liontown spin-out Minerals 260 makes sense

16th September 2021

Minerals 260 will join a recent rash of spin-outs in the junior sector when it lists next month as a separate entity from parent Liontown Resources (reports The West Australian).

But unlike some of the recent crop, the uncoupling makes sense and looks well structured. Minerals 260 will house Liontown’s precious and base metals assets with a focus on the prospective Moora project and contiguous Koojan farm-in joint venture project with Lachlan Star. In March, Liontown reported an intersection of 44m at 1.6g/t gold from 200-244m at Moora’s Angepena prospect, which included 20m at 3.2g/t and 4m at 10.1g/t from the first RC hole drilled.
