Brazil’s Geological Survey (SGB) has signed a technical cooperation agreement with Companhia Brasileira de Lítio (CBL) to jointly advance lithium exploration in the Jequitinhonha Valley, northern Minas Gerais, with the partnership valid until September 2027. The two sides will apply geophysical technologies to detect and model pegmatites and study the petrophysical characteristics of the rocks and their host formations. According to SGB, the collaboration combines CBL’s industrial experience with SGB’s scientific expertise, enabling more precise and extensive studies of pegmatites. This is expected to support the discovery of new resources, optimize exploration models, and promote the sustainable development of Brazil’s mining sector. The agreement does not involve financial transfers between the parties.

Korea’s cathode and precursor sector showed improving 2Q26 earnings, but the recovery in actual shipments remained uneven. High-nickel demand was concentrated in selected projects, while higher ASPs, inventory valuation effects and non-battery businesses also supported profits. SMM expects Korea’s ternary cathode output to fall 4.8% YoY in 2026, with LFP-based ESS and overseas precursor sales emerging as key H2 growth drivers.
