Pan Asia Metals chairman and managing director Paul Lock joins Tylah Tully live from the International Mining and Resources Conference - IMARC 2024 at the ICC Sydney at their exclusive podcast zone known as OnAir @ IMARC, sponsored by EMR Capital. The pair discuss the key messages the company is delivering at this year’s conference.
Pan Asia Metals combines its proven track record in South East Asia with the promising prospects of lithium initiatives in South America. PAM is cost focused, understanding that in the global metals market the leading factor of distinction is a project's position on the cost curve. Why? While commodity prices go through cycles, project operating costs do not. Therefore, there is only way to survive the commodity price cycle and that is to be at or near the bottom of the cost curve.
PAM’s projects are in Thailand and Chile, both low-cost regions which have established and emerging lithium chemical and electric vehicle manufacturing clusters, and which have Free Trade Agreement (FTA) protections.
