What We Do
Lithium Cost Curves and Models
Highly granular historical and forecasted cash costs broken down by activity, including mining, processing, overhead, freight, treatment charge, refining charge, by-products, royalties, and additional full sustaining costs, such as sustaining capital expenditure and corporate selling, general, and administrative costs
Detailed cost analysis by factors such as diesel, electricity, labor, consumables, and more
Lithium Supply and Demand Outlooks
Supply forecasts based on key parameters, including development stage, project type, location, owner, mining-specific country risk, and capital requirement
Proprietary methodology for mill-head grade and reserve-grade erosion, life of mine, and supply scenarios
Demand outlook based on McKinsey’s internal demand model
Individual Mine Models
Excel outputs that feature supply and cost breakdowns, including by parameters such as material moved, run of mine, strip ratio, recoveries, and grade
Flexing of macroeconomic input commodity price, exchange rate, oil price, wage, and power price
