WHAT GOT YOU TALKING LAST WEEK?

Rio’s abruptly cancelled ‘Jadar’ lithium mine in Serbia was going to be the biggest in Europe, supplying +27% of the continent’s lithium by 2030.

Who’s going to fill the vacuum?

That’s approx. 58,000t per annum of planned #lithium production taken out of the supply equation through the Serbian government’s cancellation of $RIO‘s Jadar project. https://t.co/WbyXpLYDlN
