The lithium market has been on the forefront of this worldwide electrification boom. Lithium’s inherent physical qualities make it invaluable to batteries and thus, vital for this major paradigm change. In this interview with Red Cloud Securities’ mining analyst, Koby Kushner, we cover the basics of the lithium market: deposit types, production, end products, security of supply and market dynamics heading into 2023. Not unlike the other battery metals, security of supply appears to be the biggest driver of price appreciation. Listen to Kushner overview of the lithium market’s state of supply. Enjoy!
