Australian mining company Core Lithium announced on December 22 that it has initiated a strategic review in response to the significant downturn in the lithium market, with spodumene concentrate prices dropping over 80% year to date.
Core Lithium is the operator of the Finniss Lithium Project, the only lithium mine in the Northern Territory. Despite plant performance has been improved over the past ten months, it is exploring cost-cutting and productivity-enhancing measures, including potentially curtailing operations temporarily and trimming exploration. The company states that another shipment of spodumene concentrate is due to be made in December while “future sales of the fines material will be subject to market conditions”.
The announcement highlights the company’s commitment to ensure long-term operational sustainability and reflects a broader trend in the current lithium industry, where companies are adapting to market volatility through discretionary spendings and even strategic merger and acquisition.

Second-life application market stable, lithium carbonate rises then falls, LFP demand outperforms ternary [SMM weekly review]
The second-life application market was largely stable this week, with no notable price fluctuations. Cost side, lithium carbonate rose early in the week and pulled back mid-week, cobalt sulphate held steady, and nickel sulphate pulled back slightly. Although raw material prices fluctuated, the transmission to the second-life segment takes time, so the impact on second-life costs was limited. Supply side, the impact of policies is gradually being digested, merchant shipments have begun to return to normal, market supply has been released, and quotes remained largely stable overall. Demand side performance was divergent, with ternary demand relatively mediocre and limited transactions, while LFP demand was moderate, with better transactions than ternary. Overall, the market currently lacks clear drivers for price changes, with supply and demand broadly balanced. Second-life prices are expected to remain largely stable in the short term, while attention should be paid to lithium carbonate price trends and downstream demand changes.
