About Prospect Resources Limited (ASX:PSC, FRA:5E8)

Prospect Resources Limited (ASX:PSC, FRA:5E8) is an ASX listed lithium company based in Perth with operations in Zimbabwe. Prospect's flagship project is the Arcadia Lithium Project located on the outskirts of Harare in Zimbabwe. The Arcadia Lithium Project represents a globally significant hard rock lithium resource and is being rapidly developed by Prospect's experienced team, focusing on near term production of high purity petalite and spodumene concentrates. Arcadia is one of the most advanced lithium projects globally, with a Definitive Feasibility Study, Offtake Partners secured and a clear pathway to production.

About Lithium

Lithium is a soft silvery-white metal which is highly reactive and does not occur in nature in its elemental form. In nature it occurs as compounds within hard rock deposits (such as Arcadia) and salt brines. Lithium and its chemical compounds have a wide range of industrial applications resulting in numerous chemical and technical uses. Lithium has the highest electrochemical potential of all metals, a key property in its role in lithium-ion batteries.

Further expansion potential

EV adoption accelerating Lithium Market

  • UK and Europe leading the way. Set to become the largest EV market of 2020
  • In order for the UK to meet their EV target, it needs:
    • Half of the world's 2020 lithium supply to meet future battery capacity challenge1
    • Half of the worlds lithium produced in 2020 (49% of 315,000 tonnes LCE in 2020)
    • More than the entire world's supply of anode material in 20201
  • Customer feedback suggesting higher prices in 2021 across both the chemical and glass & ceramics markets

Without further investment, the market is in deficit by 2021 Lithium Market

Shortage of long-term supply

  • Existing operational supply only in place to meet demand to 2021
  • For additional producers to meet the demands of the market in 2022, development would have had to commence in 20191
  • Therefore without further investment in new projects there will be a supply shortage by 2022 where EV growth will accelerate as they reach cost parity with ICE vehicles
