Lithium prices faking at a rebound as corporate activity rises Sayona-Piedmont the latest scrip M&A deal, while Norm Seckold lists $9.7m Nevada lithium float WA1, Nico, Pantera among High Voltage weekly gains Our High Voltage column wraps all the news driving ASX stocks with exposure to lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, rare earths, and vanadium. Back from the brink, the bottom of the market is bringing a handful of investment opportunities to bear in sold-off lithium. The price news remains particularly difficult, with hydroxide chemicals – used in nickel rich EV battery chemistries – fetching just US$8750/t according to Fastmarkets. Battery-grade carbonate, associated with cheaper but shorter range lithium-iron-phosphate battery chemistry EV batteries, is a little brighter at US$11,110/t across China, Japan and Korea. But there are a couple bright-ish spots if the price reporting agency's numbers are to be believed. Chinese carbonate prices, for instance, recorded a US$1340/t WoW growth to RMB84,700/t or US$11,695/t. 6% Li20 spodumene concentrate meanwhile lifted to US$850/t, above the month average of US$821/t. That reflected movements in the futures market, according to Fastmarkets, though spot sales were sparse. But for anyone with a long-term bullish outlook on lithium and battery demand, some corporate machinations suggest there will be ways to play the battered sector. Down-cycle M&A Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO) and Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) sounded the alarm that counter-cyclical acquisitions were beginning ahead of the next upturn in the battery materials cycle with their $10bn and $560m moves respectively on Arcadium Lithium (ASX:LTM). But it's happening further down the curve as well. This week saw the marriage of Sayona Mining (ASX:SYA) and Piedmont Lithium (ASX:PLL), bringing the North American Lithium operation in Quebec, Canada, under a single banner. The companies had previously owned the project in a 75-25 split, with NASDAQ dual-listed Piedmont also boasting an interest in Atlantic Lithium's (ASX:A11) Ewoyaa project in Ghana and proposed conversion plants in the US. Outside of NAL, SYA also boasts the Moblan and Authier projects in Quebec, giving it a sizeable resource base of more than 150Mt to tap should lithium markets turn around. The merger is being supported by Resource Capital Funds, which will tip US$45 million ($69m) into the business subject to Sayona shareholder approval, with both Piedmont and Sayona to also raise US$27m ($40m) each. The merged entity plans to allow non-institutional holders to take part in a $22.5m raise post combination. NAL produced 52,141t of 5.3% spodumene concentrate in the September quarter, lifting revenue 113% to $52m. But its operating costs of $1335/dmt (FOB) while down 11% QoQ continue to run above average sale prices of $1067/dmt (US$711/t). Underlying EBITDA was negative $18m in the three months to September 30. The return of IPOs ASX IPOs hit a long-term high in 2021 as over 100 resources companies, many of them chasing lithium, leapt onto the bourse. These days they're fewer and farther in between. But today a new lithium explorer hits the bourse in the form of Norm Seckold's Fulcrum Lithium. Chaired by Seckold, the chairman of $4bn ASX success story Nickel Industries (ASX:NIC), Sky Metals (ASX:SKY) and Alpha HPA (ASX:A4N) , he will hold a post-listing diluted holding in the company of 23.83%. Loaded up with the ASX code FUL, the $9.7 million, 25c per share float – managed by Bell Potter – will ring the bell at 10.30am AEDT on Friday, seeking to explore for the white stuff in Nevada's Esmeralda County. FUL's Fairway, Alkali Flats and Summit projects surround or abut a number of major US lithium deposits in Nevada, close to major gigafactories like Tesla's Reno facility. They include American Lithium's TLC project, American Battery Technology Co.'s Tonopah Flats, ioneer's (ASX:INR) Rhyolite Ridge and Albemarle's Silver Peak. The largest of FUL's assets is the flagship Alkali Flats, located to the east of Albemarle's operating lithium brine Silver Peak, the only major lithium producer in the USA currently, where the junior has set out an exploration target over two areas of 3.42-7.35Bt at 500-700ppm Li for 9.1-27.4Mt of lithium carbonate equivalent.

Weekly Small Cap Standouts WA1 Resources (ASX:WA1) The explorer has released more results from drilling at the Luni niobium deposit at its West Arunta project in WA, with assays to be added to a resource update next year. Luni currently hosts an inferred resource estimate of 200 Mt at 1.0% Nb2O5, including a high grade subset of 53 Mt at 2.1% Nb2O5. These latest results include: 19m at 2.4% Nb2O5 25m at 4.4% Nb2O5 21m at 2.1% Nb2O5 2m at 2% Nb2O5; and 34m at 1.5% Nb2O5. MD Paul Savich says the results from the north-east zone of the deposit further demonstrate the significance of one of the key high-grade areas at Luni. “This zone is currently planned to support our early development ambitions and will be an important part of the updated mineral resource estimate targeted for the first half of 2025,” he said. “Planning is well-advanced for next year’s field activities which will continue to focus on the collection of data that is critical toward technically de-risking Luni and expediting the permitting process.” The discovery saw the company awarded the coveted prize of the AMEC Prospector Award at a ceremony in early November. Nico Resources (ASX:NC1) The company’s Wingellina nickel cobalt project has this week been awarded Major Project Status by the Australian Government. It’s a move which recognises the national significance of the project and provides access to the Major Projects Facilitation Agency which will assist in the development of Wingellina. Wingellina hosts one of the world’s largest undeveloped oxide-type nickel-cobalt reserves, containing containing 1.56 million tonnes of nickel metal and 123k tonnes of cobalt metal. It’s also around 100kms from BHP’s West Musgrave nickel-copper project. A prefeasibility study completed in 2022 outlined a viable project capable of producing up to 40,000t of nickel and 3,000t of cobalt in a Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) for at least 42 years. The MHP product contains essential critical minerals used in batteries and energy storage systems required for the global energy transition. The company expects production from the project to meet critical mineral demand for global decarbonization efforts. “Wingellina is one of the largest undeveloped nickel-cobalt projects globally and one of very few development opportunities for a major new nickel development outside of the Chinese-dominated Indonesian nickel industry,” MD Jonathan Shellabear said. “The industry has undergone a major structural shift in recent times and experienced significant changes in supply dynamics and pricing. “Notwithstanding the temporary challenges in the sector, if operating in the current environment, the Wingellina project would have survived the carnage that has enveloped much of the Western world’s nickel supply. “It is a matter of time before such a substantial deposit like Wingellina provides a long term stable and secure supply of nickel and cobalt.” Pantera Minerals (ASX:PFE) The company has abandoned the re-entry program at its southwest Arkansas lithium brine project in the US, after the collection of a brine sample via the re-entering of saltwater disposal well proved to be problematic. It was a cost-saving measure that didn’t quite work out to plan, so the drilling of the planned standalone well will now be brought forward to early 2025 to collect samples for assaying and direct lithium extraction testing. The well will then be converted into a future production or disposal well. PFE says this result in no way diminishes the value of the Pantera lithium brine project and in the meantime will continue to amass land in the Smackover formation, a hot spot for US lithium hunters such as Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM), Standard Lithium (NYSE: SLI), Equinor (NYSE: EQNR) Tetra Technologies’ (NYSE: TTI) and Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) chasing economic brine production from old infrastructure in the area which was historically mined for bromine. PFE currently holds > 26,000 net acres and 34,900 gross surface acres in the region.

Read moreThe third storm of the season, Storm Conall, followed just days after Storm Bert left hundreds of homes flooded and saw winds of more than 80mph. Homeowners and businesses said they “have lost everything” as flash floods and strong winds wreaked havoc during Storm Bert over the weekend. Hundreds of homes were flooded, roads were turned to rivers and winds of more than 80mph were recorded across the UK during the height of the storm. The third storm of the season – Storm Conall – followed just days after on Wednesday, bringing more heavy rain, flooding and travel disruptions to parts of southern England. Some residents and business owners have had to appeal to the public for help amid fears they will not be able to clear the devastation by Christmas. Lynn Bridgeman, who lives in a caravan park in Taunton, Somerset, said she went through an “absolutely terrifying experience” in the early hours of Sunday when strong winds caused her awning to collapse. She said: “At three o’clock in the morning, my caravan went up on one wheel and that was the most horrifying thing I have ever experienced. “I thought the caravan was going to topple over. I literally screamed. “When I got up in the morning, I couldn’t get out of the caravan because the awning had come down and the pole got pushed into the door.” Ms Bridgeman, who kept her clothes, food, and electrics in the awning, said her neighbours had to cut out what was left of the canopy to get her out of the caravan. The 53-year-old mother of three, who had already lost her home 18 months prior after deteriorating health prevented her from working, set up a GoFundMe page hoping to raise enough money to replace her lost possessions – and assist other residents of the park who have been affected by the storm. So far, £305 has been raised out of a £12,000 target. “I have lost everything,” Ms Bridgeman said. “I had everything in that awning, from my food to my clothes to my electrics. “We had been preparing for the winter and it’s all gone, and all the money that we put into it. “I just absolutely feel destroyed. Every time I open up my caravan door at the moment, I burst into tears. “Losing things that you have worked for is very hard. It’s absolutely heartbreaking, to have to stand there and just rebuild again.” She added: “Luckily, we are all family here in this site. This is why I did this GoFundMe – so hopefully I can not only help myself, but them too.” In Chippenham, Wiltshire, Becky Lyons’s business flooded in the early hours of Monday, damaging equipment and stock. The 39-year-old owner of the Pawesome Pet Shop said the water rose up to two feet and meant she was unable to get inside her shop until 2pm, when the water had come down to one foot. She said: “There was mud and silt everywhere. “The water was just high enough to catch everything on our bottom shelves and our freezer full of raw food.” Ms Lyons, who has lived in the region for 18 years, said the flooding from Storm Bert was the worst she has seen so far. “The flooding has never got that bad,” she said. “It was a perfect storm.” Staff from the neighbouring Pasty Cove in Chippenham helped clean out the damage and also set up a GoFundMe page to help Ms Lyons absorb the financial loss from the destroyed stock and equipment, raising £280 out of a £3,000 target. Thanks to this, the pet shop was able to reopen for business on Wednesday. “The community support has been amazing – I think that needs shouting out”, she said. Near Shaftesbury in Dorset, Charlotte Reynolds’ sheep sanctuary, home to 54 rescued animals, also suffered losses to Storm Bert as strong winds blew away the largest shelter and dampened £400 worth of hay bales meant for feeding the sheep. Ms Reynolds, who founded The Smallest Flock Sheep Sanctuary in 1977, said the situation has been “stressful”. “To me, the sheep are a family – my three sons have grown up with them and I want them to be safe and dry and well,” she said. A fundraiser set up to fix the damage at Ms Reynold’s sanctuary already raised over £1,600 out of a £1,750 target. “I feel relieved,” Ms Reynolds said. “Obviously as a non-profit, we fundraise to stay afloat and we can’t get what we need unless we have enough money. “As soon as we have enough, we shall purchase a new shelter.” Sir Keir Starmer told Parliament on Wednesday that MPs in communities affected by flooding after last weekend’s Storm Bert will receive “whatever they need”.
We aim to go a notch higher in 2025. This was the gist of Lautoka Rugby Union head coach Penioni Ranitu during an interview with SUNsports yesterday. He said the year 2024 had been a great year for the club as they proved critics wrong and made big teams run for their money. “It has been a great year for the team. “We were hoping to reach the Skipper Cup quater-finals but we fell short this year,” he said. Ranitu added he was impressed with the boys who bounced back and created history by winning the Farebrother Sullivan Trophy after a lapse of 21 years. Lautoka defeated holders Nadi 16-10 at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka in their first challenge this year. The team’s utility back and Drua flyhalf Isikeli Rabitu was named man of the match who scored a decisive try and kicked two penalties which sealed the upset win for the side. “Thanks to the preparation we had beginning of this year. “The boys played together and improved week in and week out,” he added. Ranitu said the team’s aim this year was to blend in the young ply-ers with the senior lot which paid off in the season. “We wanted game time for our young boys. “We believe this year we were able to give our players equal oppportunity to do so,” he said. Aim for 2025 Lautoka Rugby Union will look to take it up a notch next year. Ranitu revealed the team’s perforomance this year has influenced the players and coaches to work hard for more next year. “We want to go a notch up next year. “We are aiming to reach the Skipper Cup quarter-finals or the semi-finals or even the finals,” he said. He said the team will undergo the usual preparation and that is pre-season training to prepare for the new year. “We have some new players that will come in but we want to build a depth squad that will do the damage. “The game has evolved alot and most teams are competitive. “We will not only be making the numbers next year but we will look to make the headlines,” he said. He said the team will also work hard to challenge and hold the Farebrother Sulllivan trophy for the season. Rabitu, the kid to watch in 2025 Lautoka Maroons and Swire Ship-ping Fijian Drua flyhalf Isikeli Rabitu has been named in the 22 promising U21’s for 2025 list by RugbyPass. Coach Ranitu has described Rabitu as a consistent player in the Skipper competition for Lautoka. “Even though he didn’t have alot of game time for the Drua, he still performed well for Lautoka. “He has improved alot throughout the competition,” he said. Ranitu said 2025 will be a big year for Rabitu as he will look to stamp his mark and make his name in the Super Rugby arena. Feedback: josua.buredua@fijisun.com.fj
