LITHIUM RUSH To meet the world’s lithium requirements would require 74 new lithium mines with an average size of 45,000 tonnes by 2035, according to Benchmark. Including forecast volumes from recycled lithium, however, it’s around 59 mines.
Since mines take at least five years to build these mines will need to be in operation by 2033, according to Cameron Perks, an analyst at Benchmark.
“That’s around 59 lithium mines up and running in just over 10 years,” he said.
Australia is set to remain the dominant producer of lithium this decade, according to Benchmark. There are currently over 13 lithium mines producing lithium-containing spodumene rock, over 75% of which is refined in China. |
