Lithium Spodumene Converter Margins

A comprehensive model to calculate both domestic (EXW) and seaborne (CIF) converter margins from a single set of inputs.

Feed & Logistics (to plant)

Spodumene CIF price basis

Spodumene CIF Price $/DMT

Dry Grade %

WMT Moisture %

Import logistics $/WMT (CIF→plant)

Process & Export

Recovery %

OPEX Carbonate (Li₂CO₃) $/t

OPEX Hydroxide Monohydrate (LiOH·H₂O) $/t

Export logistics $/t (plant→CIF)

Domestic EXW (VAT-in)

Carbonate (Li₂CO₃) EXW $/t (VAT-in)

Hydroxide Monohydrate (LiOH·H₂O) EXW $/t (VAT-in)

VAT %

Seaborne CIF

Carbonate (Li₂CO₃) CIF $/t

Hydroxide Monohydrate (LiOH·H₂O) CIF $/t

💡 Tip:If your CIF feed quote is per DMT, we auto-convert to WMT using moisture (P×(1−M)) so import logistics (per WMT) and yield are applied correctly.
