1.Great Wall Motor, a Chinese carmaker, recently bought a small stake in the firm and agreed to take a large share of its spodumene concentrate.

2.Spodumene is the principle source of lithium, which is the lightest of all metals.

3.Earnings from its lithium business were expected to start in the first half of the 2024 calendar year from the sale of interim spodumene concentrate.

4.From there, the spodumene is shipped to China, where it is further refined so it can be used in the batteries that power goods like cellphones and electric cars.

5.Tesla, meanwhile, is building a plant in Texas that will convert Piedmont's spodumene concentrate into lithium hydroxide, a key building block for EV batteries.

6.Tiffany & Company was instrumental in promoting Southern California’s gem industry in 1903, when it introduced a pinkish-purplish variety of spodumene to the world.

7.In particular demand, Fisher says, is the spodumene that Australia specialises in.

8.Representative Margaret O’Neil, another Democrat from the coastal city of Saco, has proposed a moratorium on spodumene mining in Maine.

9.In the second half of 2014, lithium exports to Japan from China rose sharply. However, the cost of lithium supplied-which is extracted from the spodumene ore-is much higher than the lithium extracted from lithium carbonate.

10.Maine’s Department of Environmental Protection has rejected the Freemans’ request to consider the land a quarry, and is instead classifying spodumene as a metallic mineral.

11.Despite the challenges, the company shipped a record 60,950 wet metric tonnes of spodumene concentrate for the June 2020 quarter.

12.Core Lithium said it would supply Tesla with up to 110,000 dry metric tonnes of spodumene concentrate from its flagship Finniss Project in Australia's Northern Territory over four years.

13.For lithium, Tesla is building a plant in Texas that will convert spodumene concentrate - processed rock containing the metal - into lithium hydroxide, a key building block for EV batteries.

14.When spodumene was added in the products, the cause for reducing firing temperature, enhancing mechanical strength and heat-shock resistance, possessing good chemical stability was clarified.

16.Lithium is produced either from brine, commonly found in South America, or spodumene hard rock, usually in Australia.

17.The vision included four 500-foot deep mines and a chemical plant that could convert the mineral spodumene into 22,700 metric tons of lithium hydroxide annually.

18.The lithium producer was negotiating with Tesla to supply 110,000 tonnes of spodumene from its Finniss project in Australia's Northern Territory.

19.Piedmont's deal with Tesla involves supplying roughly 53,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate to the automaker's planned lithium hydroxide chemical plant in Texas starting sometime between July 2022 and July 2023.

20.Piedmont will not operate the mines in Quebec or Ghana but has agreed to buy at least half of each company's production of a lightly processed type of lithium known as spodumene concentrate.
