Growing global demand for lithium has prompted pure-play iron ore miner Fortescue Metals Group to diversify by revealing plans to explore tenements near existing lithium deposits in Western Australia. Shares in Australian-listed lithium miners have rallied in recent months, amid rising demand for electric cars and plans by some car makers to phase out traditional petrol-only vehicles. Meanwhile, Richard Coppleson of Bell Potter says lithium could follow the same price trajectory as iron ore in the mid-2000s.
