6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Relationship diagram between battery companies and lithium mines”
Why are mining companies vertically integrating into refining & battery assets?
Mining companies are being driven to vertically integrate into refining or battery assets by a desire for exposure to higher value added products. The supply-demand and pricing in the lithium market is currently showing signs of “immaturity” as the market adapts to the new environment with large scale demand for lithium used in battery manufacture.
Are lithium-based minerals vertically integrated?
While examples of vertical integration can be identified in cobalt, nickel and other minerals, this paper will focus on lithium-based minerals. A decade ago, the market for lithium minerals was relatively mature, primarily driven by uses in glass / ceramics, greases, air treatment and other nonbattery sources.
Why are battery companies investing in mines?
Chemical and battery manufacturers are being driven to vertically integrate into mining positions by a desire for supply certainty, either directly (via equity) or indirectly (via offtake).
Which companies are joining the battery mineral mining sector?
The battery mineral mining sector is currently one of the hottest for merger and acquisition activity and companies such as Ningbo Shanshan, Toyota Tsusho and Great Wall Motors have all taken steps to become participants in upstream mineral assets over the past 24 months.
How has global lithium mine production changed since 2010?
Figure 2 summarizes annual global lithium mine production by deposit type since 2010. As shown, global supply has increased from ~28K tonnes in 2010 to ~105K tonnes last year, a nearly 3-fold increase. Lithium mine production from brine deposits dominated annual totals until 2017.
