Core Lithium shares recover lost ground
ASX investors are bidding up Core Lithium shares despite no announcements from the company today.
With lithium prices stable, it's likely that bargain hunters are swooping in after the recent share price fall.
Confidence in the lithium sector took a dive this month on the back of a Goldman Sachs' analysis.
The global investment powerhouse released a bearish report forecasting the price of lithium will tumble to US$16,000 in 2023.
This sent shockwaves throughout the battery metals market and made ASX investors panic.
A number of lithium companies pushed back on the report saying they believe lithium demand is here to stay.
It's no secret that Core Lithium will need to play a key role in meeting the future lithium supply gap. This is expected to grow rapidly as the demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy ramps up over the next decade.
The company has been developing its wholly-owned Finniss Lithium Project.
Last month, Core Lithium provided an update advising it will have its first production of lithium concentrate in Q4 2022.
Once online, the Finniss Lithium Project will be the first Australian lithium-producing mine outside of Western Australia.
The Australian Government has highlighted how critical it is to have this capability within the country.

Year-to-date, its shares are up 94%.
