Demand Climbs as Global Lithium Market Size Expected to Reach $9.03 Billion in 2024

PALM BEACH, Fla., April 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Experts see that all indications are that the Lithium market will continue to rise past 2030. A report from Grand View Research said that revenues will reach USD 9.03 billion in 2024 and the Increasing investments in EV manufacturing across the world are expected to positively influence the growth of the lithium market over the forecast period (2024 to 2030). The report continued: “U.S. holds major significance in battery production after China, which makes it one of the key lithium-consuming countries in the world. The country has huge reserves of this important metal. According to USGS, lithium resources from brines and minerals accounted for 7.9 million tons in U.S., in 2022. Market players in U.S. are focusing on getting a hold on the battery supply chain due to increasing production of EVs in the country and as transportation of batteries is dangerous. In 2018, Interior Department listed lithium as a critical mineral, which paced up the mine permitting process. In January 2021, the Bureau of Land Management approved Thacker Pass Mine proposed by Lithium Nevada Corporation. This mine is believed to serve as the largest source of commodity supply in U.S. and is expected to be able to produce about 60 kilotons of battery-grade carbonate by 2026.” Active mining stocks in the markets this week include: Lithium South Development Corporation (OTCQB: LISMF) (TSX-V: LIS), Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp. (NYSE: LAAC) (TSX: LAAC), Standard Lithium Ltd. (NYSE American: SLI) (TSX-V: SLI), American Lithium Corp. (NASDAQ: AMLI), Arcadium Lithium plc (NYSE: ALTM).

Grand View Research continued: “The market is characterized by a high degree of innovation to optimize both the manufacturing process, and also obtain high purity lithium. Players have invested in R&D heavily to optimize the usage of lithium in high-growth end use segments such as electric vehicles. Manufacturers have been focusing on developing and innovating new products by improving their production process. The market observed moderate levels of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity owing to stringent regulations with respect to mining rights and heavy competition. Players in this industry generally have resorted to backward or forward integration as their growth strategy.” It added: “The consumer electronics application segment is estimated to register the fastest CAGR of more than 17.2%, in terms of revenue, from 2024 to 2030. This segment is projected to grow owing to the increasing sales of electronic devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, cameras, portable radios, speakers, and Mp3 players, which make use of Li-ion batteries.”

Lithium South Development Corporation (OTCQB: LISMF) (TSX-V: LIS) Anticipates High-Yield Potential in PW23-AS-02 Pumping Well - Lithium South Development Corporation (the “Company” or “Lithium South”) (Frankfurt: OGPQ) is pleased to announce the commencement of development activities for pumping well PW23-AS-02, located within the Alba Sabrina tenement. The Alba Sabrina claim is the largest of the five, salar located claim blocks which total 3,287-hectares of the 5,687-hectare Hombre Muerto North Lithium Project (“HMN Lithium Project”) package. Pumping well PW23-AS-02 has been completed to 400 meters of depth and is being prepared for a long-term pumping test.

Initial assessments suggest the well could be highly productive. Emergence, which is brine surging out of the hole, has been observed. This early indication is a promising sign for brine production potential.

The planned installation of a custom-made metal capsule, functioning as a valve to control upwelling, further underscores the anticipation of substantial brine production. Implementing this valve highlights our proactive approach to managing the well's emergent behavior, indicative of its expected high yield. A 20 HP pump set is to be deployed to a depth of approximately 58 meters, which aligns with the presence of the first filter in order to optimize brine pumpability. As the pumping operation commences, adjustments to pump capacity or depth may be made to maximize brine extraction.

"We are very pleased with our results to date and await further information from this wells performance,” stated Adrian F. C. Hobkirk, Founder, President & CEO.

Upon long-term pump test completion of well PW23-AS-02, a pumping well is planned to be drilled on either the Viamonte or Norma Edith claim blocks south of Alba Sabrina. Continued development success and our Preliminary Economic Assessment Financial Model, published on March 04, 2024, has brought attention to the Company. Management is reviewing potential industry alliances or other potential business transactions and will apprise the shareholders of any developments.
