Shares in Liontown Resources fell almost 22 per cent on Monday after its lending syndicate announced it would withdraw a $760 million it had offered as recently as October. It was prompted by a forecast by commodities’ agency Wood Mackenzie that the price of lithium would remain at around $US950 a tonne until 2028, with Liontown seeking to develop the Kathleen Valley lithium project in Western Australia. Liontown MD Tony Ottaviano says $US950 a tonne is "a very, very low price", while federal Resources Minister Catherine King and WA Mines Minister David Michael are to hold crisis talks with nickel and lithium producers.
