Lithium's next boom may be coming
After a prolonged downturn that forced curtailments across the industry, this Stockhead feature examines the case that lithium's next boom may be approaching. With prices recovering through late 2025 on resurgent electric vehicle demand and rapidly growing grid-scale battery storage, the article argues that a select group of ASX-listed juniors — those that kept advancing projects through the bear market — are well placed to lead the revival.
Among the companies canvassed is Prairie Lithium (ASX:PL9), whose Saskatchewan brine project pairs a low-capex, phased development model with commercial-scale direct lithium extraction, positioning it to enter production as the market turns.
