Closing the Lithium Conversion Gap in North America

Lithium Universe Ltd  Quarterly Activities Report

Lithium Universe Ltd Quarterly Activities Report

Melbourne, Australia (ABN Newswire) - During the June quarter, Lithium Universe Ltd (ASX:LU7,OTC:LUVSF) (FRA:KU00) (OTCMKTS:LUVSF) announced the acquisition of the global rights to commercially exploit a patented photovoltaic solar panel recycling technology known as "Microwave Joule Heating Technology" (MJHT) developed by Macquarie University and held by an Australian-incorporated holding company, New Age Minerals Pty Ltd. The transaction was finalised in July, when LU7 completed its due diligence and acquired 100% of the issued share capital of New Age Minerals Pty Ltd.

The basis of Microwave Joule Heating Technology utilises microwave technology to selectively heat silicon, thereby softening the EVA encapsulant in solar panels, enabling easy delamination and potential recovery of valuable materials at room temperature. This approach avoids the need for extreme heat (1,400degC) typically required for separating materials like glass and silicon, as well as the use of costly, hazardous chemicals in traditional processes. Delamination also enables selective separation of materials, whereas traditional crushing methods often result in cross-contaminated material and lower recovery rates.

The breakthrough technology offers a promising new approach for the enhanced recovery of valuable metals, including silver, silicon, gallium, and indium. The Company plans to initiate further research and development in this area.

"The Lithium Universe team has had a very productive start to the year.

On the lithium front, we completed the positive lithium refinery DFS, and over the past quarter have leveraged that into a wide range of ongoing conversations with producers, offtake partners, and funding partners.

Based on those discussions, I remain very confident in our counter-cyclical strategy and firmly believe that LU7 is well-positioned to benefit significantly when the lithium market rebounds.

While awaiting this recovery, we were also excited to seize the opportunity to acquire a cutting-edge solar panel recycling technology developed by Macquarie University. With a growing focus on the supply of critical minerals, the potential to unlock a new source of silver, silicon, gallium, and indium to feed the high-tech industry has a lot of value and aligns well with Lithium Universe's strategy of developing mineral processing technology and infrastructure for the circular economy.

Waste management is also a growing concern globally. And with only 15% of panels currently being recycled, the need for effective PV recycling has never been greater. Microwave technology offers a promising solution to these challenges, enabling higher recovery rates and more sustainable recycling processes.

We are looking forward to adding our chemical and industry experience to the mix and working with the Macquarie University team to commercialise this exciting technology."

Executive Chairman
Iggy Tan

Lithium Prices Surge After CATL Halts Major Mine in China

Lithium prices and mining stocks around the world soared this week after Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) (SZSE:300750,HKEX:3750) suspended operations at one of the world’s largest lithium mines.

The halt at the Jianxiawo lepidolite mine in Jiangxi province’s Yichun city, a hub for China’s lithium production, came after the mine’s permit expired on August 9.

New Study Highlights Western Australia's Lithium Leadership and Future Potential

Western Australia has a strong lithium history, and a recent study could help inform future exploration.

Put together by researchers from the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA), Curtin University and the University of Western Australia, the report focuses on the formation of high-grade lithium deposits.

It states that Western Australia supplies around 35 percent of the world's lithium, with much of that coming from pegmatite, a coarse-grained rock commonly found in the state's Archean terrains.

AI Uncovers Five Potential Lithium Alternatives for Next-generation Batteries

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has helped a group of scientists identify five new materials that could power the next wave of batteries without relying on lithium.

The study, published on June 26 in Cell Reports Physical Science, focuses on materials that could enable multivalent-ion batteries — a technology long touted for its potential, but hindered by practical challenges.

Top 9 Global Lithium Stocks of 2025

Lithium prices continued their downward trajectory in 2025's second quarter, with battery-grade lithium carbonate hitting a four year low of US$8,329 per metric ton in late June.

Lithium hydroxide followed suit as oversupply and bearish sentiment weighed on the market.

Despite strong electric vehicle (EV) demand, mine supply — driven largely by China, Australia, Argentina and emerging African producers — has outpaced consumption, with Fastmarkets forecasting a 260,000 metric ton surplus for 2025.

5 Best-performing ASX Lithium Stocks of 2025

Global demand for lithium presents a significant opportunity for Australia.

Australia remains the world’s largest lithium miner, supplying nearly 30 percent of global production in 2024, though its dominance is waning as other lithium-producing countries like Zimbabwe, Argentina and Brazil scale up output.

This influx of supply has pushed lithium prices to multiyear lows, with battery-grade spodumene trading under US$800/tonne — pressuring even efficient Australian producers to trim output or delay projects.

Albemarle Swings to Profit, Lowers Spending Amid Prolonged Lithium Slump

Albemarle (NYSE:ALB) is cutting costs and investment plans as it adjusts to lithium price weakness, even as demand from the electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage sectors holds up better than expected.

The major lithium miner reported a Q2 profit of US$22.9 million, a significant turnaround from the US$188.2 million loss it posted a year ago. While total revenue fell 7 percent to US$1.33 billion, the figure still came in ahead of Wall Street’s US$1.22 billion estimate, buoyed by cost management and stronger-than-expected results in its specialties division.

“Our job is just to keep working on the things that are in our control, because we don’t really have a clear line of sight to where pricing is going,” CFO Neal Sheorey told investors on Thursday (July 31).
