Dear User, Currently, lithium carbonate prices are experiencing significant fluctuations, leading to markedly increased cost volatility for lithium metal, for which lithium carbonate serves as the primary raw material. To more promptly and accurately reflect market conditions for lithium metal, SMM plans to increase the publication frequency of prices for both industrial-grade lithium metal and battery-grade lithium metal from weekly updates to daily updates . The updates will be released at 12:00 PM Beijing Time on each working day for market reference: 1. Battery-grade lithium metal, Specification: Li≥99.9% 2. Industrial-grade lithium metal, Specification: Li≥99% We welcome more relevant enterprises across the industry chain to participate and support SMM in better serving new energy industry chain-related companies.

Dear Users, Greetings! In recent years, as the global new energy vehicle industry entered a large-scale retirement period and resource security strategies were upgraded, China's lithium battery recycling market continued to expand rapidly. In August this year, China officially began allowing the import and export of black mass, and it is expected that more black mass meeting quality requirements will enter China in the future. Against this backdrop, the value and pricing mechanism of overseas black mass in the Chinese market are attracting close attention from both upstream and downstream segments of the industry chain. In response to market changes, addressing the industry's practical needs for evaluating the value of recycled raw materials, and promoting the establishment of a more open and fair pricing benchmark in the lithium battery recycling sector, the Shanghai Metals Market (SMM), after in-depth market surveys and discussions has decided: On January 9, 2026, SMM will officially launch new weekly price for lithium battery recycling. The newly added price are as follow: 1. SMM Battery Black Mass, NCM/NCA, % payable of SMM's Nickle sulphate, FOB Malaysia, 9% < Ni < 20% 2. SMM Battery Black Mass, NCM/NCA, % payable of SMM's Cobalt sulphate, FOB Malaysia, Specification: 5% < Co < 10% 3. SMM Battery Black Mass, NCM/NCA, % payable of SMM's Lithium Carbonate, FOB Malaysia, Specification: 3% < Li < 3.5% Details of this price point are as follows: Description: SMM Battery Black Mass, NCM/NCA, % Payable of SMM's Nickel Sulphate, FOB Malaysia, 9% < Ni < 20% SMM Battery Black Mass, NCM/NCA, % Payable of SMM's Cobalt Sulphate, FOB Malaysia, 5% < Co < 10% SMM Battery Black Mass, NCM/NCA, % Payable of SMM's Lithium Sulphate, FOB Malaysia, 3% < Li < 3.5% Quality: Ni 9%-20%, Co 5%-10%, Li 3%-3.5% Quantity: Minimum 30 tonnes Definition: FOB Malaysia main ports Timing: 1-2 Months Unit: % Payment Terms: 50% Payment in advance T/T in USD , other payment terms normalized Pulication: Weekly, Friday 12pm Beijing time Relevant companies from the New Energy Industry Chain are welcomed to participate and support SMM in better serving the New Energy Industry Companies.

Dear User, As a key intermediate product in the lithium industry chain, lithium sulfate serves as a primary raw material for producing core lithium chemicals such as battery-grade lithium carbonate and battery-grade lithium hydroxide. Its supply and price influence the costs of downstream lithium battery materials and market operations. Currently, the lithium sulfate market lacks open and transparent representative price references. International trade and procurement pricing largely rely on bilateral negotiations, leading to issues such as information asymmetry and delayed price transmission. With lithium sulfate production from African lithium producers, represented by the Zimbabwe region, commencing and gradually entering the market, SMM has compiled and launched the " Africa Lithium Sulfate (CIF China) Price " to promote standardized and transparent pricing for African lithium sulfate and enhance the efficiency of the industry chain. This price aims to objectively reflect the market conditions of African lithium sulfate arriving at main Chinese ports. It will provide a reliable price benchmark for producers, traders, downstream enterprises, and financial institutions, supporting the standardized development and price discovery of the global lithium resources market. SMM's "Africa Lithium Sulfate (CIF China)" was officially launched today (January 21, 2026) . Details are as follows: Africa Lithium Sulfate (CIF China), Specification: Li₂SO₄·H₂O content ≥80% Product Name: Africa Lithium Sulfate (CIF China) Quality Standard: Li₂SO₄·H₂O content ≥80% Definition: CIF main Chinese ports Unit: $/mt Minimum Trading Volume: 60 mt Delivery Period: 2 months Release Time: Weekdays, 12:00 Beijing Time Payment Terms: Letter of credit, telegraphic transfer, or documents against payment other payment terms require separate negotiation. Welcome more relevant enterprises in the industry chain to participate and support SMM in better serving new energy industry chain enterprises.

Dear Valued Customers, Pursuant to the requirements of Announcement No. 10 of 2025 issued by the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) and the General Administration of Customs (GAC) of China on February 4, 2025, Ammonium Paratungstate (APT) and Tungsten Oxide have been included in the list of export-controlled items. Export operators are required to apply for a license in accordance with the law before conducting related business. Affected by this policy, the export volume of domestic Ammonium Paratungstate (APT) and Tungsten Oxide products has dropped sharply, and the subsequent export scale will remain at a low level. Due to the significant decline in export transaction activity, the market price formation mechanism no longer has sufficient data support, and continuing to update price points can hardly reflect the real market situation. To ensure the accuracy and professionalism of our information services, after careful consideration, SMM has decided to cease updating the two price points of "APT FOB" and "Tungsten Oxide FOB" starting from October 9, 2025. During the suspension of updates, our company will continue to track the dynamic adjustments of export control policies and the changing trends of the global tungsten industry chain. If the market becomes active again and the price data becomes representative in the future, we will restart the price update service as soon as possible and announce it separately. The historical data of the above-mentioned price points that have ceased to be updated will continue to be retained in the SMM database. If you have any needs for historical data inquiry and related business consultation, please feel free to contact Liu Xiaolei at +86 15021973263 or Li Jiahui at +86 13792518717, lijiahui@smm.cn. Thank you for your understanding and support! Shanghai Metals MarketSeptember 30, 2025
