Abavukuzi base-Australian graphite baqala "imowudi yasebusika" xa i-lithium industry transformation pains

Ngomhla we-10 kuSeptemba, isaziso esivela kwi-Australian Stock Exchange savuthela umoya obandayo kwimarike yegraphite. I-Syrah Resources (ASX: SYR) ithe iceba ukuthatha "inyathelo ngokukhawuleza" ukujongana nokuhla ngokukhawuleza kwamaxabiso e-graphite kwaye yathi amaxabiso e-graphite angawa ngakumbi kamva kulo nyaka.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, iinkampani zaseOstreliya ezidweliswe yigraphite kufuneka zingene "kwimowudi yasebusika" ngenxa yotshintsho kwimeko yezoqoqosho: ukunciphisa imveliso, ukususwa kwempahla, kunye nokunciphisa iindleko.

 

I-Syrah iwele kwilahleko kunyaka-mali odlulileyo. Nangona kunjalo, imeko yemarike yonakele kwakhona, inyanzelisa inkampani ukuba inciphise kakhulu imveliso yegraphite kumgodi weBalama eMozambique kwikota yesine ye-2019, ukusuka kwi-15,000 yeetoni zokuqala ngenyanga ukuya kwiitoni ezingama-5,000.

Inkampani iya kuphinda inciphise ixabiso leencwadi zeeprojekthi zayo nge-60 yezigidi zeedola ukuya kwi-70 yezigidi zeedola kwiingxelo zemali zonyaka zexeshana ezikhutshwe kamva kule veki kwaye "iphonononge ngokukhawuleza ukucutha iindleko ze-Balama kunye nenkampani yonke".

I-Syrah ihlolisise isicwangciso sayo sokusebenza sika-2020 kwaye yabonisa umnqweno wokunciphisa inkcitho, ngoko akukho siqinisekiso sokuba le mveliso iya kuba yeyokugqibela.

I-graphite ingasetyenziselwa njengezinto ze-anodes kwiibhetri ze-lithium-ion kwii-smartphones, iikhompyutheni ze-notebook, izithuthi zombane kunye nezinye izixhobo zombane, kwaye ikwasetyenziswa kwizixhobo zokugcina amandla egridi.

Amaxabiso aphezulu egraphite akhuthaze inkunzi ukuba ingene kwiiprojekthi ezintsha ngaphandle kwe China. Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, imfuno ekhulayo ikhuthaze ukunyuka okubukhali kwamaxabiso egraphite kwaye yavula iiprojekthi ezininzi zasekhaya nezamazwe ngamazwe kwiinkampani zase-Australia.

(1) Izixhobo ze-Syrah zaqala ukuveliswa kwezorhwebo kwimigodi ye-Balama graphite eMozambique ngoJanuwari 2019, ukoyisa ukucima kweeveki ezintlanu ngenxa yeengxaki zomlilo kunye nokuhambisa iitoni ezingama-33,000 zegraphite emdaka kunye negraphite entle kwikota kaDisemba.

(2) I-Perth-based Grapex Mining ifumene i-85 yezigidi zeedola (i-A $ 121 yezigidi) mboleko evela eCastlelake kulo nyaka uphelileyo ukuqhubela phambili iprojekthi yegraphite yeChilalo eTanzania.

(3) IMithombo yeziMbiwa isebenzisana neQela leHazer ukuseka umzi-mveliso wokwenziwa kwegraphite eKwinana, eNtshona Ostreliya.

Ngaphandle koku, iChina iya kuhlala ililizwe eliphambili kwimveliso yegraphite. Ngenxa yokuba igraphite engqukuva kubiza imali eninzi ukuyivelisa, kusetyenziswa iiasidi ezomeleleyo kunye nezinye izinto ezihlaziyayo, ukuveliswa korhwebo lwegraphite kulinganiselwe eTshayina. Ezinye iinkampani ezingaphandle kweTshayina zizama ukuphuhlisa isixokelelwano sonikezelo lwegraphite entsha engqukuva enokusebenzisa indlela ehambelana nokusingqongileyo, kodwa ayikangqinwa Imveliso yoRhwebo iyakhuphisana neTshayina.

Isibhengezo samva nje sibonisa ukuba iSyrah ibonakala ngathi ayijonganga kakuhle imeko yemarike yegraphite.

Uphononongo olunokwenzeka olukhutshwe yiSyrah ngo-2015 luthatha ukuba amaxabiso egraphite aphakathi kwe-$1,000 ngetoni nganye ngexesha lobomi bam. Kolu phononongo lokwenzekayo, inkampani yacaphula uphononongo lwamaxabiso lwangaphandle isithi igraphite inokubiza phakathi kwe-1,000 yeedola kunye ne-1,600 yeedola ngetoni nganye phakathi kuka-2015 no-2019.

NgoJanuwari walo nyaka, iSyrah iphinde yaxelela abatyali-mali ukuba amaxabiso egraphite kulindeleke ukuba abe phakathi kwe-500 yeedola kunye ne-600 yeedola ngeetoni kwiinyanga ezimbalwa zokuqala ze-2019, esongeza ukuba amaxabiso "aya phezulu".

USyrah uthe amaxabiso egraphite abe ne-avareji yeedola ezingama-400 ngetoni nganye ukusukela nge-30 kaJuni, ezantsi ukusuka kwiinyanga ezintathu ezidlulileyo (i-457 yeedola ngetoni nganye) kunye namaxabiso eenyanga ezimbalwa zokuqala zika-2019 (iidola ezingama-469 ngetoni nganye).

Iindleko zokuvelisa iyunithi ye-Syrah e-Balama (ngaphandle kweendleko ezongezelelweyo ezifana nempahla kunye nolawulo) yayiyi-567 yeetoni nganye kwisiqingatha sokuqala sonyaka, oku kuthetha ukuba kukho i-gap engaphezulu kwe-$ 100 ngetoni nganye phakathi kwamaxabiso akhoyo kunye neendleko zokuvelisa.

Kutshanje, inani leenkampani zaseTshayina zelithium zebhetri ezidweliswe kwisiqingatha sokuqala sengxelo yokusebenza ka-2019. Ngokweenkcukacha-manani, phakathi kweenkampani ezingama-81, iinkampani ezingama-45 ingeniso eshiyekileyo yehla unyaka nonyaka. Phakathi kweenkampani zemathiriyeli ezili-17 ezinyukayo, zi-3 kuphela eziphumelele ukukhula kwengeniso yonyaka nonyaka, iinkampani ezili-14 zengeniso yesambuku yehla unyaka nonyaka, kwaye ukwehla kwaba ngaphezulu kwe-15%. Phakathi kwabo, inzuzo ye-Shengyu Mining ye-8390.00%.

Kwimarike esezantsi yoshishino lwamandla amatsha, imfuno yeebhetri zezithuthi zombane ibuthathaka. Ukuchatshazelwa yinkxaso yezithuthi zamandla amatsha, iinkampani ezininzi zeemoto zinqumle iiodolo zabo zebhetri kwisiqingatha sesibini sonyaka.

Abanye abahlalutyi beemarike bachaza ukuba ngokhuphiswano oluqinisiweyo lwemarike kunye nokudityaniswa okukhawulezileyo kwekhonkco loshishino, kuqikelelwa ukuba ngo-2020, i-China iya kuba neenkampani zebhetri zamandla angama-20 ukuya kuma-30 kuphela, kwaye ngaphezu kwe-80% yamashishini aya kujongana nomngcipheko wokuba. isusiwe.
Ukuthi ndlela-ntle ekukhuleni ngesantya esiphezulu, umkhusane weshishini le-lithium-ion elingena kwixesha lesitokhwe livula kancinci, kwaye ishishini nalo liyasokola. Nangona kunjalo, imarike iya kujika ngokuthe ngcembe ekuvuthweni okanye ekumeni, kwaye kuya kuba lixesha lokuqinisekisa.
