How do I sell my lithium mining project?
Sell your lithium mining project through Mine Market in 3 steps: 1) Enter your tenement ID to auto-populate registry data from DMIRS, NT STRIKE, or GESTIM, 2) Set your asking price and upload geological reports to your NDA-protected data room, 3) Publish your listing and receive inquiries from verified lithium buyers including battery manufacturers and EV companies within 24 hours.
How much is my lithium tenement worth?
Lithium tenement valuations depend on deposit type, resource size, grade, and infrastructure proximity. Grassroots pegmatite exploration typically sells for $100-1,000 per hectare. Drill-ready projects with mapped pegmatites command $1,000-10,000 per hectare. Defined lithium resources are valued at $50-200 per tonne Li2O depending on grade and metallurgy.
Who buys lithium mining projects?
Lithium project buyers include major battery manufacturers (CATL, LG, Panasonic), EV companies securing supply chains (Tesla suppliers, BYD partners), ASX and TSX-V lithium developers, integrated lithium producers like Albemarle and SQM, and critical minerals PE funds seeking energy transition exposure.
Why is lithium in such high demand?
Lithium demand is driven by the global EV transition. Electric vehicles require 8-12 kg of lithium per battery. Global EV sales are projected to reach 40 million units annually by 2030, requiring 2+ million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent. This supply gap creates urgent acquisition interest for lithium projects at all stages.
What fees does Mine Market charge to sell a lithium project?
Listing your lithium project on Mine Market is free. We operate on a success-based model: fees only apply when your transaction completes. No upfront costs, no monthly fees, no broker exclusivity. You maintain full control and can work with other advisors simultaneously.
What types of lithium deposits are buyers seeking?
Buyers seek all lithium deposit types: spodumene pegmatites (hardrock lithium in WA Pilbara, Quebec James Bay), lithium brines (South American salars, Clayton Valley), and sediment-hosted lithium clays. Pegmatite projects with LCT fractionation indicators attract the strongest buyer interest.
Can I sell a lithium project without a JORC resource?
Yes. Battery and EV companies are securing supply chains early, so exploration-stage lithium projects attract strong interest. Projects with mapped pegmatites, LCT indicator minerals, favorable fractionation trends, or proximity to known deposits are actively sought by exploration-focused buyers.
How long does it take to sell a lithium exploration licence?
Your listing goes live within 24 hours. Lithium projects typically attract faster buyer interest than other commodities due to supply chain urgency. Most sellers receive their first qualified inquiry within 1-3 weeks. Complete transactions range from 4 weeks to 4 months depending on due diligence and deal complexity.
