  • China's lithium demand is 'unstoppable': Sigma Lithium CEO

    Lithium is a core component that goes into the construction of EV battery systems, but as electric vehicle demand falters in the US, do lithium mining operators forecast any production slowdowns on their end? Sigma Lithium (SGML) CEO Ana Cabral sits down with Market Domination in-studio to talk about the lithium producer's international business.
