VANCOUVER, BC, March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group  -  An international scramble for lithium is fully underway, with some of the world's largest automakers now jockeying for position in the mining space to secure supplies for the battery metal moving forward. The latest to throw its hat in the lithium ring is General Motors Company (NYSE:GM), which announced a $650 million equity investment in Lithium Americas Corp. (NYSE:LAC) (TSX:LAC) in connection with construction on the upcoming Thacker Pass lithium project in Nevada. GM's investment is another symptom of the race that's heating up on the international scene, with perhaps even more attention being placed on South America's prolific 'Lithium Triangle' where the West is competing with Chinese interests to secure whatever they can ahead of an EV market that will likely require as much as 3x as much lithium that's currently being produced for the entire global market. Among the Lithium Triangle projects underway, some of the most active developers currently working today are Lithium South Development Corporation (TSXV:LIS) (OTCQB:LISMF), Allkem Limited (TSX:AKE) (OTCPK:OROCF), and Livent Corporation (NYSE:LTHM).

  • "We are very excited to complete a hole to such significant depth at the Alba Sabrina claim block," said Lithium South President and CEO Adrian F.C.
  • But now almost 4 years later, lithium was selling at 5.5x that as recently as December 2022.
  • But another potential North American lithium producer on the horizon is Allkem Limited (TSX:AKE) (OTC:OROCF), which is the resulting entity of a major lithium merger between Galaxy Resources and Orocobre Mining.

NEW YORK, March 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The electrification of automobiles is projected to drive the lithium-ion battery market, considerably increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries in the near future. The growing awareness of the amount of carbon emissions released into the environment from automobiles, plus the recent advances made in battery technology, has helped spur the adoption of electric vehicles around the globe. This, in turn, has put the burden on manufacturers to offer electric vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries, instead of adopting other battery alternatives due to their lightweight nature, high energy density, and low cost. According to data provided by Research and Markets, the global lithium market size was valued at USD 7.1 Billion in 2021, and is expected to reach a value of USD 15.45 Billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 11.75% over the forecast period 2022 - 2028.
