so it seems did many of the market’s fears and the ASX ripped for a third week running
Market data confirmed Australia’s slowdown in inflation
which combined with US tech giant earnings and AI investment roaring back to life
resulted in a steady flow of green for traders
There hasn’t been a red day on the market for nine straight trading days
This week’s Bulls N’ Bears ASX Runner of the Week is… DY6 Metals
as the mining and energy sectors both pulled back to the pack
Lower inflationary figures are helping to push calls for the Reserve Bank to announce further rate cuts at its May meeting and Australia’s economic figures show expansion despite higher cost of living pressures and higher interest rates
Resources again seem to be the saving grace
thanks to jacked-up LNG prices and Chinese demand for minerals triggered in part by a stream of economic stimulus from President Xi’s CCP
The United States and the Ukraine finally inked their critical minerals agreement this week
The deal grants the US a portion of profits and royalties from any future sales of Ukrainian minerals and rare earths – the latter would seem to be limited
Trump may have overstated Ukraine’s rare earths-rich landscape
which is in fact why one Bulls N’ Bears Runner made a late charge for the podium spot
critical minerals companies dominated this week’s Runners of the Week list
with all three of the companies three bagging between Monday and Friday
Taking out top spot is an African critical minerals minnow
that does have quite a bit of rare earth elements and the critical mineral gallium
This week’s Bulls N’ Bears ASX Runner of the Week is rare earth elements (REE) and heavy minerals exploration company DY6 Metals
The company shot out of a cannon on Tuesday after it revealed that historical assays at its Tundulu REE project in Malawi features significant high-grade mineralisation of the critical mineral gallium
A review of past drill results confirmed high-grade intercepts
including a 74-metre hit grading 93.3 grams per tonne (g/t) gallium oxide with 1.56 per cent total rare earth oxides (TREO) from 72m depth and 53m running 72.8g/t gallium with 1.02 per cent TREO
Gallium was recently put on China’s hit list for critical mineral export controls
as the metal’s demand and price has steadily increased in recent years for its uses in semiconductors
China controls about 94 per cent of global gallium supply
leaving the rest of the world frantically searching for the metal
which has interestingly popped up in DY6’s carbonotite hosted rare earth project
The company noted its gallium mineralisation was open at depth
with elevated results occurring within the saprolite clays near surface and again within fresh rock at depth
DY6’s shares promptly quadrupled on Tuesday morning peaking at 18.5 cents for a gain of 340 per cent from last week’s close of 4.2c
The company was quickly placed into a speeding halt by the good boys and girls down at the ASX
who insisted the company needed to supply more evidence and documentation
Some $1.1 million worth of stock was exchanged in its one hour of trading on Tuesday
which was the company’s highest most one-day volume over the past year
DY6 says it will now kick off critical metallurgical test work on a Tundulu bulk sample to determine if the deposit can economically produce a multiple product package
The company says substantial potential remains for additional gallium
as only 40 per cent of the 91.5-square-kilometre project area has been drill-tested
Tundulu’s already REE-rich deposit could quickly add a valuable byproduct
Sampling carried out by the company found mineral rich carbonatite at the previously unexplored Tundulu Hill and Makhanga Hill to the east and west of Nathace respectively
Charging late this week and going down by a nose is gold and rare earths hopeful Dateline Resources
The company was touted by Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform this week
with the leader of the free world giving his seal of approval to the company’s Colosseum project outside of Las Vegas
President Trump referred to the developing gold project as “America’s second rare earths mine”
noting it had been approved after years of stalled permitting
Dateline’s share price surged 233 per cent on Friday on 390 million shares traded
the project is highly prospective for rare earth elements (REE) as it sits just 10km north of the globally significant Mountain Pass REE mine
the company has been primarily focussed on Colosseum’s 1.1-million-ounce gold endowment
Dateline will now look to weave rare earths exploration into its ongoing development story
with Dateline wrapping a robust scoping study around its deposit
outlining an 8.3-year mine life with an annual output of 75,000 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of US$1490 per ounce
The study projects a net present value of US$235 million and a 31 per cent internal rate of return
based on a conservative gold price of US$2200 per ounce
With gold prices now more than US$3200 per ounce
the project’s economics are significantly juiced up
forecasting total sales of nearly US$1.5 billion over its lifespan
The Trump administration appears more focused on the project’s rare earth elements potential and highlighted the project as “America’s second rare earth elements mine.”
An executive order from President Donald Trump earlier this year seeking to reduce US dependence on China seems to be the driving force here
however we wonder if the gun hoe leader of the free world may have gotten his wires crossed
Andromeda Metals has confirmed its South Australian kaolin can be processed into +99.99 per cent high purity alumina for use in smartphones and synthetic sapphires
Runners’ final podium finish goes to high purity alumina hopeful Andromeda Metals after the company announced it had achieved the critical four nine purity designation (4N or 99.99 per cent) for its high purity alumina (HPA) product from its Great White kaolin project in South Australia
Kaolin is a soft white alumina clay primarily used in ceramics and paints that can also be converted to HPA for high end uses in synthetic sapphires and smart phones
Andromeda announced that after seven years of successful metallurgical test work
the company had achieved a 99.9985 per cent purity level from its kaolin sourced at its Great White project
The news sent its share price skyward on Thursday
hitting a top of 2.85c on $6.5M worth of paper traded
exactly 200 per cent up on its close price from last week
Andromeda says its HPA is among the highest quality grades
which makes it ideal for applications in batteries
With demand for this critical mineral projected to exceed supply by 48 per by 2028
Andromeda is looking to cash in on the growing market
which was confirmed by an independent analysis to produce a premium HPA
The company says its lab scale trials sets it apart from other HPA producers
as Andromeda’s process will likely be more cost and carbon effective than other reported processes
the company will look to complete a scoping study and investigate government funding opportunities
It locked in $75M in project debt financing a little over a month ago
The final Runner and critical minerals company for the week is Jindalee Lithium
the company got a run on with our critical minerals’ quartet thanks to its addition to the US’s FAST-41 framework
The framework designation signals US federal interest in projects that are of national strategic importance and promises them a fast track to eventual production
Jindalee Lithium started the week at relatively the same levels it was last week
before the Trump administration included its flagship McDermitt Lithium project in Oregon on the incoming US FAST-41 list
with five solid days of volume sending its share price to a high of 67c on Thursday
This was a 158 per cent increase on last week
The company says its significant McDermitt deposit was designated a ‘transparency project’ under the FAST-41 framework because it has one of the biggest contained lithium resources nationally
It was one of only 10 resource projects nationally listed in FAST-41 in a White House announcement early last week
Jindalee has gotten busy simultaneously applying for US Department of Defence grants to co-fund a feasibility study at McDermitt
The company expects to know the success of any awards by the middle of the year
The growing demand for domestically sourced lithium has been highlighted as a priority for the Trump administration
getting government recognition at a counter cyclical time could be just what McDermitt needs to push on to become a producing lithium mine

Is your ASX-listed company doing something interesting
Jindalee Lithium Limited (Jindalee, the Company; ASX: JLL, OTCQX: JNDAF) advises that the Company has sold its shareholding in Dynamic Metals (ASX: DYM
Dynamic was formerly a Jindalee subsidiary which held Jindalee’s Australian exploration assets
Dynamic was spun out of the Company in January 2023 following a $7M IPO which included a priority entitlement to Jindalee shareholders1
leaving Jindalee as a pure play US lithium company focussed on the 100% owned McDermitt Project (McDermitt)
one of the largest lithium deposits in the US and of global significance
In mid-November 2024 Jindalee announced the results of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on McDermitt2
The PFS confirmed a 63 year life with the Project producing 1.8Mt Lithium Carbonate at C1 costs of US$8,670/t for the first 40 years and a 5 year payback
The PFS also noted excellent potential to reduce capital and operating costs as well as increase production at McDermitt
Priority activities following completion of the PFS include engagement with potential funding partners and US Government agencies
together with investigation of opportunities to improve Project economics
The proceeds from the Dynamic sale will enable these activities to be accelerated
Jindalee’s CEO Ian Rodger commented"This transaction is firmly aligned with our strategy of advancing McDermitt while preserving shareholder value
At a time when many lithium companies are struggling to raise capital
Jindalee’s ability to unlock funding from a non-core asset enables us to accelerate project development in a less dilutive way
History shows that projects advanced during downturns are best positioned to capture the upswing
and with lithium prices at unsustainable levels
This funding provides us the runway to progress key catalysts—including engagement with potential funding partners and US government agencies
and advancing permitting and community engagement
As one of the most advanced sedimentary lithium projects in the US
McDermitt is strategically positioned to benefit from the policy priorities of the new administration as the US moves to secure domestic supply of critical minerals."

Jindalee Lithium (ASX:JLL,OTCQX:JNDAF) is an Australia-based pure-play US lithium company focused exclusively on its 100-percent-owned McDermitt Lithium Project
currently one of the largest lithium deposits in the US
boasting a resource of 21.5 million tons (Mt) of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE)
Backed by a newly released (November 2024) prefeasibility study (PFS) demonstrating very compelling economics
the McDermitt Project is poised to play a crucial role in meeting North America’s growing lithium demand for the lucrative battery value chain
As the US continues to transition to energy independence, demand for lithium is expected to exponentially increase
is a game-changer for North American lithium supply
critical for meeting the demands of the fast-growing electric vehicle
The Ames National Laboratory spearheads the DOE's Critical Materials Innovation Hub
Key milestones in the US lithium resource space also provide significant insights into the future prospects for Jindalee’s project. Lithium Americas (TSX:LAC)
has received a total of US$945 million investment from General Motors
construction and operation of the Thacker Pass project in Humboldt County
In October 2024 LAC closed a $2.3 billion loan from the US Department of Energy and in April 2025 announced the Final Investment Decision for Thacker Pass following a $250 million investment from Orion Resource Partners
Another lithium resource developer in Nevada, Australia-based Ioneer (ASX:INR) has closed a US$996 million loan guarantee from the US Department of Energy to finance the development of its flagship Rhyolite Ridge lithium-boron project
The US government has taken further action to bolster domestic critical mineral production. On 20 March 2025, President Trump issued a significant executive order titled "Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production"
underscoring the urgency and strategic imperative of increasing domestic supply chains for critical minerals
This order builds on previous initiatives by fast-tracking the permitting processes
prioritizing access to mineral-rich federal lands
and mobilizing substantial financial resources – including Defense Production Act (DPA) funds – towards domestic mineral projects
As one of the largest lithium resources in the US and situated on federal lands
Jindalee’s McDermitt Lithium Project stands to potentially benefit from these accelerated permitting processes and enhanced government support mechanisms
The clear commitment demonstrated by the US administration highlights the critical strategic advantage of domestically located mineral assets such as McDermitt
reinforcing its importance in securing robust domestic supply chains
These are just a few examples of current market dynamics that point to a rapidly accelerating lithium resource development in the US
with the right blend of experience and expertise in geology
corporate administration and international finance
leads Jindalee to fully capitalize on the potential of its assets
The economic metrics revealed in the PFS paint a compelling picture of the McDermitt Lithium Project's potential:
Production Capacity: The Project is set to produce 1.8 Mt of battery-grade lithium carbonate over its first 40 years
with an annual output forecast of 47,500 tons per annum (tpa) in the initial 10 years
tapering to 44,300 tpa over the first 40 years
Financial Metrics: The Project boasts a net present value (NPV) of US$3.23 billion at an 8 percent discount rate
with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 17.9 percent
These figures underscore the Project’s strong economic viability
Payback Period: Investors can expect a payback period of less than five years
a relatively short timeframe for a project of this magnitude
Break-even Price: The break-even NPV price is approximately US$14,600/t of lithium carbonate
providing a buffer against market fluctuations
The PFS estimates a total project cost of US$3.02 billion
which includes a prudent 21 percent contingency margin
This substantial investment is balanced by impressive profitability projections
including an EBITDA margin of 66 percent generating post-tax free cash flow of US$6.6 billion during the first decade of operations
With a pre-tax net operating cashflow margin of 17 percent at current spot prices
McDermitt shows strong cash generation potential
These financial indicators suggest that McDermitt is not only economically viable but potentially highly profitable
positioning it as an attractive prospect for investors and strategic partners alike
The McDermitt Project is located in Malheur County on the Oregon-Nevada border and is approximately 35 kilometres west of the town of McDermitt
The 100-percent-owned asset covers 54.6 square kilometres of claims at the northern end of the McDermitt volcanic caldera
The Project is characterized by its unique sedimentary lithium deposits
primarily composed of lithium-bearing clays
a geological formation that sets McDermitt apart from many other lithium projects worldwide
This sedimentary nature of the deposit offers several advantages:
The lithium-rich clays at McDermitt are part of a broader geological context that includes volcanic tuffs and sedimentary rocks
This geological setting is indicative of a complex depositional history
which has resulted in the concentration of lithium in economically viable quantities
The 2023 mineral resources estimate (MRE) for the McDermitt Project contains a combined indicated and inferred mineral resource inventory of 3 billion tons at 1,340 parts per million (ppm) lithium for a total of 21.5 Mt LCE at 1,000 ppm cut-off grade
market and partnership development workstreams
successfully confirming value potential for producing an intermediate Nickel product for the battery value chain

European Metals Holdings (ASX:EMH,LSE:EMH,OTCQX:EMHXY) confirmed the approval of a US$36 million Just Transition Fund (JTF) grant for its Cinovec lithium-tin project on Monday (April 28)
supporting projects that align with the economic diversification and reconversion of concerned territories such as Bulgaria
JTF states on its website that the number of supported projects varies annually
The grant also forms part of the European Union’s efforts to transition to clean energy and achieve climate goals
Cinovec was chosen as it was designated as a strategic project under the Critical Raw Minerals Act in March, underlining its importance in Europe’s journey toward securing stable supply of critical raw minerals. It was also declared a strategic deposit by the Czech government
a designation that accelerates certain permitting processes
"The grant funding will be utilised to fast track a number of critical path items with regards to the Cinovec Project,” commented European Metals Executive Chair Keith Coughlan in a press release
“This confirmation builds on recent project momentum and is another clear indicator of the support the European Union and the Czech government is willing to provide to assist in getting Cinovec into production in the timeliest manner possible."
Located approximately 100 kilometres northwest of Prague in the Ústí region of the Czech Republic
Cinovec was acquired by European Metals in 2014 through a 100 percent purchase of its exploration rights
It is said to host the largest lithium resource in Europe
and is regarded as one of the largest undeveloped tin resources in the world
it is expected to produce 29,386 tonnes per annum of battery-grade lithium oxide over a 25 year life
As per a 2021 JORC-compliant resource estimate
Cinovec holds 708 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.42 percent lithium oxide for a total of 7.39 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent
The results of a definitive feasibility study for Cinovec are expected by mid-2025
Should the project successfully enter production
it could assist in supporting the EU's objective of achieving lithium self-sufficiency by 2030

Atlantic Lithium is advancing Ghana’s first lithium mine at Ewoyaa, a fully permitted, strategically located project ready to supply global battery markets
With strong local support and a clear path to production
the company is positioned for near-term growth and long-term impact in the energy transition
Atlantic Lithium (AIM:ALL,ASX: A11,GSE:ALLGH,OTCQX: ALLIF) is an Africa-focused lithium exploration and development company advancing its flagship Ewoyaa Lithium project through to production as Ghana’s first lithium mine
favourable regulatory climate and stable political backdrop
Ghana remains largely overlooked as an investment jurisdiction for battery metals
the country boasts a strong strategic location
Ghana is also home to an abundance of mineral wealth
180,000 tonnes of estimated lithium resources
Atlantic Lithium intends to produce spodumene concentrate capable of conversion to lithium chemicals for use in electric vehicle batteries and energy storage
A definitive feasibility study (DFS) released in June 2023 shows that Ewoyaa has demonstrable economic viability
low capital intensity and excellent profitability
three-stage crushing and conventional Dense Medium Separation (DMS) processing
the DFS outlines the production of 3.6 Mt of spodumene concentrate over a 12-year mine life
which will make it one of the largest spodumene mines by production capacity globally
The Ewoyaa Lithium Project was awarded a Mining Lease in October 2023, an EPA Permit in September 2024, and a Mine Operating Permit in October 2024
Having secured all of the permits required to begin construction
Atlantic Lithium currently awaits parliamentary ratification of the Ewoyaa Mining Lease
which was issued by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources in October 2023
The JORC mineral resource estimate at Ewoyaa now stands at 36.8 million tons (Mt) at 1.24 percent lithium oxide
81 of which is now in the higher confidence measured and indicated categories (3.7 Mt at 1.37 percent lithium oxide in the measured category
26.1 Mt at 1.24 percent lithium oxide in the indicated category
and 7 Mt at 1.15 percent lithium oxide in the Inferred category)
The residents of the project-affected communities in Ghana’s Central Region have voiced their strong support from the advancement of the project towards production

Atlantic Lithium (ASX:A11,LSE:AAL,OTCQX:ALLIF) is appealing to the Ghanaian government to re-evaluate fiscal terms regarding its flagship Ewoyaa lithium project
The company’s board of directors acknowledged media reports on the situation in a press release late last week
saying it wants to ensure the successful development of the asset
head of battery raw materials at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence
said at the Benchmark Summit in March that lithium carbonate prices are expected to remain about where they are
and that will end up being supportive of prices,” he explained at the Toronto-based event
Australian spot spodumene concentrate prices have also declined
Starting the year at the US$990 per metric ton level, values contracted through the first quarter of 2025 and are now sitting at the US$765 level
a 23.5 percent drop from January 2024's price of US$1,000
Atlantic said that despite this price environment
it is dedicated to “working in a spirit of partnership” with the Ghanaian government and its host communities to ensure that Ewoyaa becomes a reality
“While current lithium prices present headwinds
we believe that through collaboration and prudent fiscal measures
we can advance Ewoyaa to production and deliver lasting value for all stakeholders,” said Executive Chair Neil Herbert
Atlantic said it is working closely with the Ghanaian government and local communities to progress the project to production and ensure long-term benefits for Ghana
In August 2023, Piedmont Lithium (ASX:PLL,NASDAQ: PLL) committed to funding Ewoyaa
acquiring a 22.5 percent stake in the project
The company continues to assist Atlantic in advancing the project
Speaking with the media earlier this week, Atlantic Lithium CEO Keith Muller said that there is “no doubt” in his mind that Ewoyaa will be built

most of the world's lithium was produced by an oligopoly of US-listed producers
the sector has transformed significantly in recent years
Interested investors should cast a wider net to look at global companies — in particular those listed in Australia and China
as companies in both countries have become major players in the industry
Joint ventures can offer investors different ways to get exposure to mines and jurisdictions
Mergers and acquisitions are common in the lithium space, with the biggest news in the industry recently being Rio Tinto's (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) acquisition of Arcadium Lithium for US$6.7 billion in March of this year
The acquisition transforms Rio Tinto into a global leader in lithium production with one of the world’s largest lithium resource bases
As for Chile, the country's lithium landscape is changing following the December 2024 announcement that as a part of its National Lithium Strategy toward public-private partnerships, the government opened up the process of assigning special lithium operation contracts to a total of 12 priority areas
lithium investors have a lot to keep an eye on as the space continues to shift
Read on for an overview of the current top lithium-producing firms by market cap
Market cap: US$99.83 billionShare price: AU$112.70
a global powerhouse in the resource sector for decades
is mostly known for its iron and copper production
the mining giant has been expanding its position in the world’s lithium market
In March 2025, the company cemented its position as one of the biggest lithium-producing companies in the world with the US$6.7 billion all-cash acquisition of Arcadium Lithium
the lithium giant formed after the US$10.6 billion merger of lithium majors Allkem and Livent
Rio Tinto is consolidating Arcadium's portfolio with its own lithium projects under the name Rio Tinto Lithium
Arcadium's portfolio includes the Salar del Hombre Muerto and Olaroz lithium brine operations in Argentina
as well as the Mount Cattlin hard-rock mine in Western Australia
which is entering care and maintenance in the second half of this year
It also has lithium hydroxide production capacity in the US
Rio Tinto said it will increase its lithium carbonate equivalent production capacity to over 200,000 metric tons (MT) annually by 2028
Lithium acquisitions are not new to Rio Tinto. In 2022, it acquired the Rincon project in Argentina from Rincon Mining. Rincon has an expected annual capacity of 53,000 MT of battery-grade lithium carbonate over a 40 year mine life
although Rio Tinto plans to expand production at the site to 60,000 MT per year
A pilot battery-grade lithium carbonate plant is scheduled for completion in H1 2025
As of March 2025, Rio Tinto is also reportedly in talks to develop the Roche Dure lithium deposit in the Democratic Republic of Congo
one of the world's largest hard-rock lithium deposits
Market cap: US$10.93 billionShare price: US$37.05
SQM has five business areas
ranging from lithium to potassium to specialty plant nutrition
Its primary lithium operations are in Chile
and it is also working to bring production online in Australia
SQM sources brine from the Salar de Atacama; it then processes lithium chloride from the brine into lithium carbonate and hydroxide at its Salar del Carmen lithium plants located near Antofagasta
the state will begin receiving 85 percent of the operating margin of the new production from SQM’s operations
Overall, the company sees its total sales volumes from all its lithium operations increasing by 15 percent this year
Market cap: US$7.5 billionShare price: US$2.51
Ganfeng Lithium has operations across the entire electric vehicle battery supply chain
Even though it is relatively new compared to some companies on the list
Ganfeng has become one of the world’s largest producers of both lithium metals and lithium hydroxide
This is due to its strategy of investing heavily in overseas projects to secure long-term lithium resources
which holds the rights to two lithium salt lakes in Argentina's Salta province
Ganfeng purchased Leo Lithium’s (ASX:LLL,OTC Pink:LLLAF) Goulamina project in Mali in May 2024 and brought it into production in December
Goulamina has a mine capacity of 506,000 MT of spodumene per year
The company’s goal is to double that capacity to 1 million MT per year
In February 2025, Ganfeng brought its US$790 million Mariana project in Argentina into production
The Mariana mine is situated on the Llullaillaco salt flat
and has the capacity to produce 20,000 MT of lithium chloride per year
Market cap: US$6.92 billionShare price: US$58.88
North Carolina-based Albemarle is dividing into two primary business units
one of which — the Albemarle Energy Storage unit — is focused wholly on the lithium-ion battery and energy transition markets
It includes the firm's lithium carbonate
Albemarle’s Australian assets includes the MARBL joint venture with Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN,OTC Pink:MALRF)
The 50/50 JV owns and operates the Wodgina hard-rock lithium mine in Western Australia
Albemarle wholly owns the on-site Kemerton lithium hydroxide facility
The company’s other Australian joint venture is the aforementioned Greenbushes mine
in which it holds a 49 percent interest alongside Tianqi and IGO
Albemarle owns the Silver Peak lithium brine operations in Nevada's Clayton Valley
which is currently the country’s only source of lithium production
Albemarle is planning to bring its past-producing Kings Mountain lithium mine back online
subject to permitting approval and a final investment decision
The mine is expected to produce around 420,000 MT of lithium-bearing spodumene concentrate annually
Market cap: US$6.61 billionShare price: 30.26 Chinese yuan
a subsidiary of Chengdu Tianqi Industry Group
is the world’s largest hard-rock lithium producer
has a significant position in the Greenbushes mine and Kwinana lithium hydroxide plant through the Tianqi Lithium Energy Australia JV with IGO
which is one of the world's largest fully automated battery-grade lithium hydroxide facilities
processes feedstock from Greenbushes with a capacity of 24,000 MT per year
Construction work for the Phase 2 expansion at Kwinana, which would have doubled its capacity, was terminated in January 2025 due to the current low-price environment for lithium making it economically unviable
Tianqi Lithium Energy Australia updated the total mineral resources at Greenbushes in February 2025 to 440 million MT at an average grade of 1.5 percent lithium oxide
and its total ore reserve estimate to 172 million MT grading 1.9 percent lithium oxide
In March 2025, Tianqi Lithium announced collaborations with a number of academic research institutions including the Institute for Advanced Materials and Technology of the University of Science and Technology Beijing on the research and development of next-generation solid-state battery materials and technology
Market cap: US$2.92 billionShare price: AU$2.92
operates its 100 percent owned Pilgangoora lithium-tantalum asset in Western Australia
The operation entered commercial production in 2019 and consists of two processing plants: the Pilgan plant
located on the northern side of the Pilgangoora area
which produces a spodumene concentrate and a tantalite concentrate; and the Ngungaju plant
PLS has recently completed a few critical expansion projects at Pilgangoora. Its P680 expansion, for a primary rejection facility and a crushing and ore-sorting facility, was completed in August 2024. The P1000 expansion
targeting a spodumene production increase at the site to 1 million MT per year
was completed in January 2025 ahead of schedule and within budget
The company says the ramp-up to full capacity is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025
Market cap: US$2.59 billionShare price: AU$18.95
Australia-based Mineral Resources (MinRes) is a commodities company that mines lithium and iron ore in the country
both of MinRes’ lithium mines are joint ventures with other companies on this list
In addition to the Wodgina mine in Western Australia
which is operated under the MARBL joint venture with Albemarle
MinRes holds a 50 percent stake in Albemarle's Qinzhou and Meishan plants in China
MinRes owns 50 percent of the Mount Marion lithium operation
which is a joint venture with Ganfeng Lithium
Production of lithium concentrate began at Mount Marion in 2017
which also has a 51 percent share of the output from the spodumene concentrator at the site
MinRes completed the expansion of Mount Marion's spodumene processing plant in 2023
the plant has an annual production capacity of 600,000 MT spodumene concentrate equivalent
MinRes acquired the Bald Hill lithium mine, which is also located in Western Australia, in 2023. The company released an updated mineral resource estimate in November 2024 of 58.1 MT at 0.94 percent lithium oxide
up 168 percent from the prior June 2018 estimate
MinRes announced that it would have to place the mine on care and maintenance until global lithium prices improve
The final shipment of Bald Hill spodumene concentrate was made in December 2024
silver-white metal used in pharmaceuticals
which power everything from cell phones to laptops to electric vehicles
Lithium is the 33rd most abundant element in nature. According to the US Geological Survey, due to continuing exploration, identified lithium resources have increased to about 115 million metric tons worldwide. Global lithium reserves stand at 30 million MT
with production reaching 240,000 MT in 2024
The largest hard-rock mine is Greenbushes in Australia
and most lithium brine output comes from salars in Chile and Argentina
There are various types of lithium products
and many different applications for the mineral
it is often processed into lithium carbonate
Battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide can be used to make cathode material for lithium-ion batteries
The latest data from the US Geological Survey shows that the world’s top lithium-producing countries are Australia
with production reaching 88,000 metric tons
49,000 metric tons and 41,000 metric tons
Global lithium production reached 240,000 metric tons of lithium in 2024
About 87 percent of the lithium produced currently goes toward battery production
but other industries also consume the metal
while 2 percent goes to lubricating greases
The world's largest lithium-producing mine is Talison Lithium and Albemarle's Greenbushes hard-rock mine in Australia, which put out 1.38 million MT of spodumene concentrate in the fiscal year 2024
The top-producing lithium brine operation was SQM's Salar de Atacama operations in Chile
with 2023 production of 166,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate
The top lithium-importing country is China by a long shot
and second place South Korea is another significant importer
China is also the top country for lithium processing
and both are home to many companies producing lithium-ion batteries
The different types of lithium deposits come with their own challenges
For example, mining pegmatite lithium from hard-rock ore is known for being expensive
while extracting lithium from brines requires vast amounts of water and processing times that can sometimes be as long as 12 months
Lithium mining also comes with the difficulties associated with mining other minerals
such as long exploration and permitting periods
Both major forms of lithium mining can have negative effects on the environment
there have been incidents of chemicals leaking into the water supply and damaging the local ecosystems; in addition
these operations tend to have a large environmental footprint
This form of lithium extraction also affects the condition of the soil and air
Although future demand for lithium is expected to keep rising due to its role in green energy, the metal shouldn't run out any time soon
as companies are continuing to discover new lithium reserves and are developing more advanced extraction technologies
there are companies working on technology to recycle battery metals
which will eventually allow lithium from lithium-ion batteries to re-enter the supply chain
Researchers have been working on developing and testing a variety of lithium alternatives for batteries
Some of these options include hydrogen batteries
liquid batteries that could be pumped into vehicles
batteries that replace lithium with sodium or magnesium and even batteries powered by sea water
While nothing looks ready to replace lithium-ion batteries right now
there is potential for more efficient or more environmentally friendly options to grow in popularity in the future
Investors are starting to pay attention to the green energy transition and the raw materials that will enable it
When it comes to choosing a stock to invest in
understanding lithium supply and demand dynamics is key
as there are unique factors to watch for in lithium stocks
The main demand driver for lithium is what happens in the electric vehicle industry
Analysts remain optimistic about the future of lithium
with many predicting the market will be tight for some time

the markets saw a nice post-Easter bump with the ASX finishing up 2.5 per cent across three days
primarily thanks to another volatile Trump tariff backflip - this time with China
After weeks of escalating China-United States trade war tensions
US President Donald Trump announced plans to cut the unprecedented 140 per cent tariffs placed on China
perhaps understanding his game of chicken with the largest export nation in the world might not turn out to be as rosy as he had hoped
This week’s Bulls N’ Bears ASX Runner of the Week is… Redstone Resources
The Asian purchasing powerhouse remained understandably sceptical of the unpredictable leader of the free world’s intentions
the world’s largest economies have returned to the negotiating table
rather than a tit-for-tat tariff escalation
with the share prices of big producers BHP and Rio Tinto bouncing back about 5 per cent each
as iron pushed back above US$100 per tonne
Importantly for one of Bulls N’ Bears ASX Runners this week
a plethora of new projects were recently added to the US’s FAST-41 framework
which is an effort to expedite critical domestic minerals production and reduce import dependence
The framework designation signals US federal interest in projects and can fast track them to eventual production
the gold price went ballistic to start the week on a tear - even by recent gold standards - surging to nearly US$3500 an ounce before pulling back on Trump’s backflip and easing trade tensions
A short week has dictated a shorter Bulls N’ Bears ASX Runners of the Week list
with only three companies making the grade this week
It was a tight sprint from Tuesday to Thursday for the top spot
which eventually went to a Central Australian copper minnow
as the red metal saw some returning demand to its price on improving China-US relations
This week’s Bulls N’ Bears ASX Runner of the Week is copper exploration company Redstone Resources
The company saw its share price surge on Wednesday after it announced a biblically deep drill hole at its West Musgraves project in Western Australia to test the source of its high-grade Tollu copper deposit
The company believes the high-grade copper at Tollu is remobilised from a Voisey’s Bay-style magmatic massive sulphide deposit
This seems like a highly prospective analogue
particularly considering Tollu is just 60 kilometres from BHP’s $2 billion West Musgraves project and its Nebo-Babel and Succoth magmatic deposits
Redstone’s announcement of a 1200m deep hole sent the company’s share price flying on Wednesday
finishing up at 0.6 cents per share from a close of 0.35c per share last week
The region has become a major metallogenic province near the intersection of the borders between WA
South Australia and the Northern Territory
following BHP’s takeover of OZ Minerals’ in 2022
The world’s biggest miner has been busy building all the infrastructure for the once-isolated region
in the process creating a potential boon for juniors looking to piggyback off it with their own discovery
The potentially company-making hole will test below existing drill hits at Redstone’s Chatsworth prospect
including a 5m hit running 1.46 per cent copper from 61m and a higher-grade 10m intercept coming in at an impressive 3.4 per cent copper from 427m
If the hole turns up a Voisey’s Bay-style nickel-copper discovery
neighbouring BHP would be all over Redstone like a rash
ANTERIS TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL CORP (ASX: AVR)
Losing by a nose on this week’s Runners list is Anteris Technologies Global
which flew late in the week on no news to the market
the company did not receive a speeding ticket from the good people in ASX land
Maybe they noticed a $9 price target issued by the US-based securities research team at Cantor Fitzgerald
following Anteris’ 100-patient milestone for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis late last month
Anteris says it is a leader in structural heart solutions
The company recently topped 100 uses of its DurAVR transcatheter heart valve
which is used to treat aortic stenosis - a severe form of heart disease which restricts or blocks blood flow
The company’s share price ran up across the week
topping at $7.85 per share on more than $500,000 of shares changing hands
Please note: dollar signs are not usually seen in our Runners column
Anteris says its replacement heart valve has been deployed across a wide range of cases and diverse patient groups and has demonstrated an exceptional safety profile
with no valve or cardiovascular-related deaths reported within the first year of use
Anteris’ is the first biomimetic heart valve of its kind and is constructed using the company’s patented ADAPT tissue
anti-calcification technology cleared by the US Federal Drugs Administration (FDA)
The technology has been used in more than 55,000 patients globally
The company says it remains on track to initiate its pivotal DurAVR valve trial in the second half of the year
marking a major step towards becoming a first-in-class solution in the structural heart market
One thing is for sure - cardiologists care about first-in-class and will take note
Jindalee Lithium’s flagship McDermitt project in Oregon
has been added to the Trump administration’s FAST-41 faster permitting framework due to its strategic importance
Jindalee Lithium started the week in style
shooting out of the blocks thanks to the Trump administration’s inclusion of its flagship McDermitt Lithium project in Oregon to the incoming US FAST-41 permitting framework
The company’s inclusion in FAST-41 earned it a bronze medal on Bulls N’ Bears Runners of the week
The FAST-41 initiative is set up to streamline and improve project coordination
predictability and transparency of federal permitting for critical minerals projects deemed to be of national strategic importance
Jindalee’s share price peaked at a high of 42c and was up 65 per cent on more than $1 million of paper traded on Tuesday
before it settled down considerably to finish the short trading week
The McDermitt deposit was designated a ‘transparency project’ under the FAST-41 framework because it has one of the biggest contained lithium resources nationally
It was one of an initial 10 resource projects nationally listed in FAST-41 in a White House announcement earlier this week.The company says its 21.5 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent
is uniquely placed to provide lithium chemicals to the American automotive industry.Management has submitted a simultaneous application to the US Department of Defence for a grant to co-fund a feasibility study at McDermitt
The company expects to receive word of any award decision by mid-year
Jindalee has seen its struggles of late in a depressed lithium market
Given the need for domestically sourced lithium is a priority for the Trump administration
any developments in this space could seriously contribute to McDermitt becoming a producing lithium mine

Channel 7 reporter Laura Dymock with sons Reeve
When Channel 7 journalist Laura Dymock and her husband put their Jindalee home on the market they weren’t expecting a cyclone to interrupt the sales campaign
The three-bedroom property at 12 Kooringal Drive
hit the Brisbane property market late February
But instead of welcoming potential buyers to their much-loved family home last weekend
“Buying and selling in a cyclone is not ideal,” Mrs Dymock said
“Our open home was cancelled and I’m a bit worried people won’t be out this weekend as well
Mrs Dymock and her husband bought the property in 2015
The home survived both the 2011 and 2022 floods high and dry
and after coming through the first cyclone to hit Brisbane in more than 50 years unscathed
the house has certainly proven to be sturdy
has survived two floods and a cyclone unscathed
“Our street is on the river so flooding was something we were thinking about when we bought it,” Mrs Dymock said
“A lot of suburbs in Brisbane have flooding unfortunately
“People just need to do their research outside of the council flood maps
which are designed to give you an idea but don’t tell the whole story
“Where our house and our neighbour’s house is
there is a slight rise and our house is on stumps
“You can’t see that though without going to look at the house.”
Mrs Dymock said she was sad to say goodbye to the only home her three sons had known
“We actually saw it the day it hit the market,” she said
loved it from the first time we saw it and bought it on the spot – we had a good feeling about it
we still love the house and Jindalee has certainly come a long way
but we need some more space after a third baby.”
The home has a big living area opening to a private front deck
The home sits on a 610sq m block and has three bedrooms
“It’s a house that has been lived in and loved and people have put their personal touch on,” Mrs Dymock said
“I love that it has a backyard with gardens
beautiful trees and shade to play with the kids
“The living area is big for a three-bedroom home and that’s where my kids hang out all the time – it’s where they took their first steps.”
the Centenary Highway Bikeway and riverside walking paths
“I’d love to see it go to a young couple who can enjoy it and make their own memories,” Mrs Dymock said
“We were first homebuyers when we bought it and I think that is who it will appeal to now.”

dropping to just over US$3,200 per ounce on the first day of May
While the yellow metal remains historically high after a strong run this year
its price has pulled back from last week's record-setting level of US$3,500
causing concern for some market participants
many experts agree that this week's retreat isn't a reason to worry
Gareth Soloway of VerifiedInvesting.com described it as "very normal," saying he remains bullish on gold in the mid to long term
His technical analysis shows that the US$3,100 to US$3,140 area will be important to watch moving forward — in his view
that's when bullish players should start re-entering the space
Soloway also outlined gold's future price potential, saying he sees a potential path to US$7,000. Check out the full interview for more of his thoughts on gold
Eyes are shifting to the US Federal Reserve's next meeting, set to run from May 6 to 7. It follows initial numbers showing that real GDP contracted by an annual rate of 0.3 percent in Q1
Trump has pressured Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates sooner than later
but CME Group's FedWatch tool shows the vast majority of market participants expect rates to stay flat
Trump advisor Elon Musk also has his eye on the Fed. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday (April 30)
he said the US$2.5 billion renovation of the central bank's headquarters could become a point of inquiry for the Department of Government Efficiency
Calling the cost an "eyebrow raiser," Musk questioned where the money is being spent. The price of the project was initially set at US$1.9 billion in 2021
The US and Ukraine signed a much-anticipated minerals deal on Wednesday
ending months of often-tense negotiations between the two countries
the agreement will set up a reconstruction investment fund that will be split 50/50 between each party
the deal is more equitable than previous versions
The fund will be financed only by new licenses for critical materials, oil and gas; aside from that, Ukraine will not have to pay back wartime aid provided by the US
While Ukraine had pushed for security guarantees from the US
that component ultimately wasn't put in place
the US may provide new assistance to Ukraine
A total of 55 minerals are reportedly covered in the arrangement
but more can be added in the future if there is consensus between the US and Ukraine
Although the US will get preferential rights to mineral extraction
Ukraine will have the final say on what is mined and where
The agreement comes on the back of an increasing global focus on critical minerals
many of which are key for new technology and important industries like defense
It's worth noting that while Ukraine is home to a wide variety of these commodities, more geological data will be needed to determine commercial viability — for example
there is no up-to-date information on the country's reserves of rare earths

Investment Risks and Important Disclosure from Sprott Asset Management
Relative to other sectors, precious metals and natural resources investments have higher headline risk and are more sensitive to changes in economic data, political or regulatory events, and underlying commodity price fluctuations. Risks related to extraction, storage and liquidity should also be considered.
Gold and precious metals are referred to with terms of art like store of value, safe haven and safe asset. These terms should not be construed to guarantee any form of investment safety. While “safe” assets like gold, Treasuries, money market funds and cash generally do not carry a high risk of loss relative to other asset classes, any asset may lose value, which may involve the complete loss of invested principal.

COWRA GUARDIAN ARCHIVES: Papers from the Cowra Guardian from 1987 and 1988
EVIDENCE: Ms McKay has taken a lot of inspiration from The Teacher's Pet podcast about the disappearance of Lynette Dawson
A new investigative podcast will explore the 37-year-old double homicide cold case of Catherine Holmes and Georgina Watmore and the culture of Cowra in the 1980s
It's a cold case that has cast a shadow over Cowra for nearly four decades and is back in the spotlight with the launch of 'Jindalee'
an investigative podcast that not only delves into the unsolved double homicide of Catherine Holmes and Georgina Watmore but also offers a unique retrospective on the culture and social dynamics of the town in the 1980s
occurred on the early morning hours of 15 April 1987
Hosted by former local Vangie McKay and produced by The Media Collective
Jindalee re-examines the events of that fateful day
policing and culture of 1980s Cowra shaped the investigation and community response
The six-part series explores the town as it was in the 80s and details the nature of the crimes that occurred on Jindalee Circuit
“The crime was not only devastating to Catherine and Georgina’s families and loved ones – as you’ll hear as the episodes are released - it also impacted me and my immediate family," said host Vangie McKay
who travelled to Cowra last week as part of the investigation
"The series hopes to dispel rumours that have surrounded this case and to solve this crime bringing justice to the victim’s families and to the community of Cowra
I grew up in Cowra in the 80s,” said Vangie
and even their neighbours was influenced by the culture of the time
and that had a significant impact on this investigation
By revisiting both the case and the town’s mindset
we hope to uncover clues that may have been overlooked and will enable the investigation to move forward," Ms McKay said
The first episode of Jindalee will be available in December and the podcast's producers encourage anyone with information about the case
to get in touch by emailing jindaleepodcast@gmail.com or writing to PO BOX 535 Double Bay NSW 1360

An aerial view of a Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN) transmitter site at Laverton
JORN is a network of three over-the-horizon radars that can detect aircraft and ships between 1,000 and 3,000 km from the northern coastline of mainland Australia
SYDNEY — Australia is poised for its largest defense sale ever, exporting its Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN) to Canada, at a cost estimated at more than $6 billion CAN ($4 billion USD).
I’m announcing that our government will be working with our long-standing defence and security partner Australia to build a new
over-the-horizon military radar system,” said Carney
“[It] will enable Canada to detect and respond to both air and maritime threats over our Arctic both faster and from further away
It will most fundamentally keep all Canadians safe.”
An official statement from Carney’s office described JORN as “a key component of Canada’s NORAD modernization plan” to detect and deter threats across the country’s vast northern reaches
“Collaboration with Australia on this critical technology,” the statement says
“will further deepen our long-standing bilateral defense relationship
while supporting Canada’s commitment to strengthening North American defenses in partnership with the United States.”
Albanese confirmed the discussions during a press conference today but did not provide any details
“There’s a lot of water to go under the bridge here,” Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles told reporters this morning in the northern Queensland city of Cairns
“but in collaborating with Canada in relation to this technology and working closely with them
what is in prospect here is the single biggest defense industry export from Australia in our history
really big opportunity for the nation.”
Marles also said Australia still hopes the United States will purchase JORN technology. BAE Systems Australia is managing a $1.2 billion AUD upgrade to the system, known as the Phase 6 upgrade
which involves hardware and software enhancements as well as sustainment support out to 2028
JORN monitors sea and air across 37,000 square kilometers
which sends a signal and then reads back the return
JORN bounces its signal off the ionosphere
is an aboriginal word for a place the eye cannot see
Notably, Albanese pointed to the importance of Australia diversifying its trade relationships. While he didn’t mention the tariffs President Donald Trump has ordered on Australia, there has been increasing discussion here about the solidity of the alliance and the relationship between the two treaty allies
“It’s important that we develop that diverse series of relationships and Canada is a very important one
Among the things the two countries have in common is that they are treaty allies with the US
who has called for it to become America’s 51st state

2025 11:54 p.m.The public now has until April 25 to review environmental impacts that could come during a company’s search for lithiumA wooden stake marks the Jindalee mining claim amid a sea of sagebrush in the McDermitt Caldera on the Oregon-Nevada border Friday
The caldera is labeled by the federal government as the best of the best remaining sage grouse habitat
Federal officials have extended what was initially a days-long public comment period for a lithium exploration project in southeastern Oregon
Australia-based Jindalee Resources’ proposal includes drilling at more than 260 sites across 7,200 acres of sagebrush desert in Malheur County
The highly valued metal is a key ingredient in batteries
including those that store renewable energy and power electric vehicles
Jindalee’s proposal is the first step to building one on the Oregon side of the caldera
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has been reviewing Jindalee’s proposal to explore federal land for lithium since 2022. The agency published its resulting environmental assessment last week
and gave the public just five days to review and comment on hundreds of pages of analyses and data
That’s an unusually short public comment period
particularly for a project that’s likely to affect vulnerable species like sage grouse
and ranchers who rely on public lands for grazing cattle
“We are 6th generation ranchers in the Caldera where the cattle
and yet we get 5 days time to comment on the biggest impact of our lifetime and generations to come,“ April Wilkinson
said in a statement shared by environmental groups
“Our voices will be heard even in a short period of time
We hope that the people are heard and the Caldera is saved.”
BLM received more than 1,500 comments in those five days. This week, the agency quietly extended the deadline for public comments to April 25
and project to extend the comment period for 25 additional days,” a BLM spokesperson said in an email to OPB
BLM notified the public of Jindalee’s proposal in 2023
and accepted public comments for over two months during that early stage
Last week was the first time Oregonians could see the agency’s environmental assessment
which more thoroughly outlines how this project might affect species such as sage grouse and trout

Leks are relatively flat clearings in continuous sagebrush where sage grouse congregate during mating season
This project comes as the Trump administration pushes federal agencies to fast-track resource extraction such as mining, drilling and logging. Trump has said he wants the United States to produce more natural resources for energy
even as his administration has criticized pushes toward electric vehicles
There’s also pressure on the battery storage sector to seek domestic sources of lithium as new tariffs
including some advanced by the Biden administration
The region where Jindalee proposes to build roads and drilling sites is critical breeding ground to sage grouse
a vulnerable bird species whose populations have plummeted in recent decades due to livestock grazing
but now only occupy about half of their historic range
To avoid encroaching on the sage grouse breeding season
Jindalee’s proposal says it won’t operate in the area from December through June
