Cape Lambert’s chairman Tony Sage recently visited Korea to meet battery mineral users such as POSCO (KRX:005490), LG and Samsung as well as other smaller users.
He noted that demand for battery minerals in Korea is high driven by the perceived risk of market domination by the Chinese similar to the rare earths market.
As a result, Korean companies are seeking direct supply options for their desired battery minerals.
