Fastmarkets has corrected its MB-LI-0012 spodumene min 6% Li2O, spot price, which was published incorrectly on Wednesday September 25.

The price range has been amended to $750-802.86 per tonne from $750-802 per tonne. Fastmarkets’ pricing database has been updated to reflect this change.

The rationale has also been corrected with the following:

– “Indications ranged from $750-802/t” has been amended into “Indications ranged from $750-802.86/t”.
– “A deal heard was reported at $802.86/t” has been amended to “A deal heard was reported at $770-780/t”.
– “The top end of the range was up, pegged to an indication. A deal heard and deal at $802.86/t were not fully reflected due to a lack of details, but supported the upward move today” has been amended into “The top end of the range was up, pegged to a deal and an indication”.
