Lithium prices and shares surged after Zimbabwe, one of the world’s top producers, suspended concentrate exports, fueling fears that global supplies of the battery ingredient will tighten. Lithium carbonate on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange rallied 7.2% to 179,960 yuan ($26,225) a ton as of 9:07 a.m. local time, while shares in Australian miners jumped. PLS Group Ltd. rose as much as 7.6% in Sydney, while Mineral Resources Ltd. gained 6%. Zimbabwe halted exports of lithium concentrate from Wednesday, in a move designed to promote domestic processing and halt illegal shipments. Mines Minister Polite Kambamura said the ban will only be lifted if miners comply with the government’s requirements. The African nation accounted for about 10% of the world’s mined lithium last year, according to the US Geological Survey. “The higher lithium price and continuous illegal shipments are likely driving factors for why the overhaul is happening now.,” said Cameron Hughes, an analyst at consultancy CRU Group, who likened the move to a similar ban enforced by the Democratic Republic of Congo on cobalt exports. Zimbabwe has committed to cracking down on illicit commodities trading and has introduced measures to encourage downstream processing . China’s Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co. and Sinomine Resource Group Co. are both developing projects in the country to that end.
