• BloombergNEF says demand for EVs is still going strong in 2024
  • New report flags more battery supply chain investment needed
  • LFP batteries expected to cut demand for nickel and manganese

 

Our High Voltage column wraps all the news driving ASX stocks with exposure to lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, rare earths, and vanadium.

Automakers are softening previous electrification targets, often quoting their inability to manufacture EVs at as low a cost as internal-combustion cars.

But while sales are “only” forecast to grow this year by 21% this year (down from 62% in 2022 and 31% in 2023), demand for EVs is still going strong according to BloombergNEF’s Long-Term Electric Vehicle Outlook.

The report indicates that rapidly falling battery prices, advancements in next-generation battery technology and improving economics of electric vehicles continue to underpin long-term EV growth globally – good news for battery metals.

“Several next-generation battery technologies are reaching commercialisation in the next few years and prices have fallen by 90% over the past decade,” the report notes.

“This trend looks set to continue, with early indications that prices are dropping sharply in 2024 due to lower raw-material prices, manufacturing advances, and overcapacity.”

BloombergNEF points out what industry experts like Benchmark Minerals Intelligence Boss man Simon Moores has been saying for ages – large investments are needed in all areas of the battery supply chain.

“At least US$35 billion needs to be invested in battery-cell and component plants by the end of the decade, which is easily exceeded by the US$155 billion already planned by companies,” the report said.

 

LFP batteries bump off nickel and manganese demand

The report also notes that lithium-iron-phosphate batteries are taking over the EV market, expected to reach more than 50% of global passenger EV sales within the next two years. That will reduce demand growth for metals like nickel and manganese.

“Nickel and manganese are among the biggest losers from the advancements in LFP batteries,” BloombergNEF says.

“Nickel consumption in lithium-ion batteries reaches 517,000 metric tonnes in 2025, while manganese reaches 131,000 metric tonnes.

“These are 25% and 38% lower than our previous estimates in EVO 2023 for nickel and manganese, respectively, due to the shift toward lower-cost chemistries.”

Weekly Small Cap Standouts

 

KORAB RESOURCES (ASX:KOR)

Korab is gearing up for a helicopter assisted infill ground gravity survey at its Rum Jungle project in the NT, targeting several silver, gold, zinc, lead, nickel, magnesium, and copper prospects and targets defined by the company using data collected and evaluated over the past seven years.

Rum Jungle covers approximately 243 square kilometres within the Rum Jungle Mineral Field, which forms part of the Pine Creek Orogen.

Handily, the survey will undertaken in conjunction with the low-resolution ground gravity survey to be undertaken by the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) over the coming months, saving Korab the contractor mobilisation costs.

 

KUNIKO (ASX:KNI)

Kuniko has completed an 8-hole, 3,794 metre diamond drilling program at its Ertelien nickel-copper-cobalt project in Norway with promising assay results from the first hole of 0.83% NiEq over 15.2m from 404.5 m and 1.04% NiEq over 2.4m from 473.2 m downhole.

Assays also highlighted notable copper and gold grades up to 3.95% Cu and 2.33 g/t Au.

“The high-grade intersections and extensive disseminated sulphide zones highlight the significant potential of the Ertelien project. These results align with our strategy to expand the known resources in a near term update to the 23Mt mineral resource estimate,” CEO Antony Beckmand said.

 

BLACK ROCK MINING (ASX:BKT)

Black Rock has completed full form offtake agreements for large flake graphite concentrate production from the Mahenge project in Tanzania.

The company’s 84%-owned subsidiary, Faru Graphite Corporation signed the three-year deals with Muhui International Trade (Dalian) Co. Ltd (Muhui) and Qingdao Yujinxi New Material Co. Ltd (Qinqdao) for the supply of 15,000tpa of large flake concentrate (>+100 mesh) under each offtake contract (for a total of 30,000tpa).

Plus, the buyers have an option to purchase an additional 10,000tpa of any uncontracted volume under each offtake contract (for a total additional volume of 20,000tpa).

“Signing these offtake agreements represents completion of another key milestone and clearly illustrates our growing confidence that all elements required to finance and develop the Mahenge graphite project are coming together,” Black Rock CEO John de Vries said.
