Such two pieces of news about the layout of lithium mines have been thrown down, adding another fire to lithium-related stocks at a time when lithium mines are becoming more and more hot. China Mineral Resources directly opened the trading limit, and Ganfeng lithium industry also turned red smoothly after falling for several trading days, and finally closed up 2.96%.
On the same day, Tianhua Chaojing also planned to increase the layout of battery-grade lithium hydroxide and proposed to raise no more than 4.6 billion yuan. It will be used in the construction project of Sichuan Tianhua Lithium Energy Co., Ltd. with an annual output of 60, 000 tons, Yibin Weineng Lithium Industry Co., Ltd., the first phase of 25000 tons of battery-grade Lithium hydroxide project, the acquisition of 7% equity and supplementary liquidity of Yibin Tianyi Lithium Industry Science and Technology Co., Ltd.
As for the future trend of lithium hydroxide, according to SMM's previous research, on the supply side, lithium hydroxide manufacturers entered the maintenance period in January, the supply significantly reduced, while the production line is still in the climbing period, the supply increment is limited. At present, due to the continuing shortage of lithium carbonate, causticizing manufacturers lack of raw materials to maintain a low supply. SMM expects that the lithium hydroxide market supply will still be affected by maintenance in February, and lithium hydroxide production is expected to decrease by 9.6% month-on-month in February 2022.
