The battery and electrification sector's recent boom has seen many ASX battery mineral explorers surging into the spotlight.
Those ASX-listed companies producing battery metals such as copper, cobalt, nickel, graphite, rare earths, and lithium are increasingly hitting the headlines, as are the prices of said metals.
They've seemingly been driven by increasing global demand for electric vehicles and battery power.
The share prices of battery metal producers Vulcan Energy and Resources Ltd (ASX: VUL) and Ecograf Ltd (ASX: EGR) have each soared more than 1,000% in the last 12 months.
And now, there's what looks to be a glut of battery metal Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) ready to hit the ASX in the coming weeks.
