Welcome to the April 2019 edition of the lithium miner news. This past month saw lithium prices stabilize, and talk from SQM of weaker 2019 lithium prices but strong lithium demand growth ahead. The big news for the month was Volkswagen securing a 10-year lithium supply deal from China's Ganfeng, and CATL forecasting a 140%-170% year-on-year growth for Q1 net profit. Meanwhile the US government plan to meet in May to "discuss" the EV metals supply chain, and China's Ganfeng Lithium "invests" US$160 million into Lithium Americas' Caucharí-Olaroz lithium project.
