On the news front, MIN announced that considering the continuous low price of lithium concentrate, the company will transition the Bald Hill lithium mine to maintenance status starting from the week of November 13. Mining operations will stop from November 13. The company expects the lithium spodumene beneficiation plant to suspend operation in December 2024. The shipment volume of Bald Hill lithium concentrate for the 2025 fiscal year has been revised down from 0.12-0.145 million dry metric tons to about 0.06 million dry metric tons. The company expects to sell the final batch of lithium concentrate in December.
Huaan Securities pointed out that in recent days, overseas production cuts have continuously sent price support signals. Australian lithium mining company Pilbara announced it will start maintenance at the Ngungaju plant from December 1 and has reduced the lithium concentrate production for the 2025 fiscal year. Another giant, Liontown, also announced production cut plans and lowered the ore production expectations at the end of the 2027 fiscal year. The short-term expectation of lithium mine contraction and actual price improvement provide strong support for lithium-related sectors in power equipment such as batteries. However, looking into next year, there still exists some uncertainty in the supply and demand side of lithium.
