Episode Description from the Publisher

Lithium equities continue to lag rising lithium prices, while copper trades near all-time highs and investors reassess where the real opportunities lie across critical minerals. In this week’s Rock Stock Recap, Howard Klein and Matt Fernley discuss undervalued Argentine lithium brines, Liontown’s move into Argentina, Standard Lithium’s LG Energy Solution offtake, Albemarle’s leadership shift, El Niño risks, high-grade copper projects, Codelco, copper supply forecasts, and why the market may still be underestimating lithium.
