Mini-symposium - Turning the Switch On:

The Geology of Li-Ion Battery Materials and how to Evaluate Risk in Today's Markets

Based on member feedback and the popularity and projected demand for Li-ion batteries, we are hosting an afternoon that will focus on the three main mineral components of some Li-ion batteries – Lithium, Cobalt and Carbon. Presentations will provide an overview of the Li-battery market, three specific deposits, and the downstream mineral processing. These ideas will be brought together in a panel discussion at the end of the afternoon.

The event will be proceeded by networking and refreshments. Please see event details below (or download the mini-symposium flyer). For more information about the talks, download the abstracts and speaker bios.
