GRAPHIC-Solid demand to underpin lithium as price slides in 2018
An oversupply of lithium this year has nearly halved prices this year in China, halting an unprecedented run for the key component for batteries used in electric vehicles. A boom in electric vehicles has boosted prices for components of lithium-ion batteries including lithium and cobalt, as consumers such as car companies to scramble to secure supplies. Prices in China, the world's biggest consumer of lithium, plunged to $13,000 per tonne in August from a peak of $24,750 in March, according to prices tracked monthly by Benchmark Mineral Intelligence (BMI).

Chilean lawmakers study extra tax for copper, lithium mines
Chile's congress is studying a proposal for an additional royalty payment for copper and lithium miners operating in the country to bolster the development of the regions around their deposits, according to a draft seen by Reuters. The initiative, which was put forward by opposition legislators from mining areas and does not have government backing, proposes a 3 percent tax on the nominal value of extracted metals and would apply to copper miners producing more than 12,000 tonnes of copper a year and 50,000 tonnes of lithium. It was sent on Thursday evening to the mines and energy committee of the country's house of representatives, but support for it remains in question since it was put forward by lawmakers from a number of small parties pushing for Chile's decentralization.

In Chilean desert, global thirst for lithium is fueling a 'water war'
On Chilean water regulator Oscar Cristi's desk, a small white espresso cup teeters atop piles of documents and loose folders that appear on the point of collapse, perhaps an apt metaphor for the growing water crisis in parts of the Andean country. Sitting in his eighth-floor office adjacent to the presidential palace, Cristi, a PhD economist, lays out a map of Chile showing key watersheds for mining. Soon, if Cristi gets his way, they will be red, meaning new water rights will be banned.
