[SMM analysis: lithium battery concept stock strengthening Chinese fir stock sealing plate lithium carbonate price is expected to rise slightly in the short term] according to SMM research, most of the domestic lithium salt manufacturers are in full production, and lithium carbonate is in short supply, lithium salt manufacturers are tight, and most of the quotations are higher. However, the rate of increase on the demand side is not as fast as the release rate of production capacity, so the price of lithium carbonate is expected to rise slightly and be stable in the long run.

SMM9 March 15: today, the lithium battery concept stock trend is strong, Shanshan shares, aerospace mechanical and electrical pull up the sealing board, Cixing shares, pilot intelligence, nebula shares rose more than 10%, BYD, Shi Dashenhua rose more than 9%.

According to SMM research, the price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has shown an overall downward trend since the beginning of the year. As of September 15, the average daily price of battery-grade lithium carbonate was 40, 000 yuan / ton, down 10250 yuan / ton from the peak of 50250 yuan / ton since the beginning of the year. SMM believes that the supply and demand structure of lithium carbonate has improved, mainly due to a sharp drop in imports from Argentina and Chile, where the epidemic is still severe. The number of confirmed cases in one day reached an one-day high on Sept. 10, and imports are expected to remain low in August.

According to SMM research, most of the domestic lithium salt manufacturers are in full production, and lithium carbonate is in short supply. Lithium salt manufacturers are tight in shipments, and most of the quotations are higher at present. However, the rate of increase on the demand side is not as fast as the release rate of production capacity, so the price of lithium carbonate is expected to rise slightly and be stable in the long run.

Andrada Extends Lithium Ridge Mineralised Trend by 50% to Nine Kilometres Following Surface Sampling【SMM Analysis】

On August 4th, Andrada Mining Limited said it has extended the identified lithium mineralized trend at its Lithium Ridge Project in Namibia's Erongo Region by 50%, from six kilometers to nine kilometers, following completion of a license wide surface sampling programme. The sampling forms part of the first stage of an earn-in agreement with Chilean lithium producer Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile SA (SQM), conducted through its subsidiary SQM Australia. Andrada is listed on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market and the Namibian Stock Exchange (NSX). Several surface samples returned lithium grades exceeding 3.5% Li₂O, with additional mineralized pegmatites identified outside the main Lithium Ridge trend. Grab samples also returned tin grades of up to 7.38% and tantalum levels of up to 3,192 parts per million. Andrada CEO Anthony Viljoen said the results confirm high-grade lithium mineralization across multiple new pegmatites, together with significant associated tin and tantalum mineralization, and complement earlier drilling that confirmed lithium mineralisation from surface to depth. Lithium Ridge is part of Andrada's broader Namibian critical minerals portfolio, alongside its established tin production operations.

[SMM Analysis] Ronbay Technology: LMFP Commercial Vehicle Application Advantages Confirmed, Pure-Solution Expected to See Small-Batch Vehicle Deployment This Year

[SMM Analysis] Demand in the LFP industry chain continues to rise, but the supply-side response is significantly lagging behind. The most notable feature of the current market is that tight supply is rapidly transmitting from bottom to top, forming a sequential inversion of "battery cell production schedule > LFP cathode production schedule > iron phosphate production schedule." The slow release of LFP capacity and the iron phosphate industry segment have become the most prominent bottlenecks in the entire chain.
