About $87000/tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate!
According to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, on October 24, Pilbara announced that the company has completed the sale of a new batch of 5,000 tons of lithium concentrate at a transaction price of US$7,255 per ton, up 2.18% from the October 18 transaction price!
The batch of ore will be delivered in mid-November, and the circulation time of the output lithium carbonate is expected to be in January-February 2023.
According to statistics, the cost of battery-grade lithium carbonate produced is about $80,500/ton based on the freight rate of 90 US dollars/ton!
You must know that lithium ore processors also need to make money. When the cost price is $80,500/ton, even at a 10% profit margin, the market price will exceed about $87,000/ton!
