Lithium converters' procurement has become more cautious, with lithium ore port inventories building up. Lithium ore prices fell last week, the processing fees for lithium ore purchased by lithium converters fluctuated narrowly, and the settlement of back-pricing orders became more cautious. As Australian ore traders are highly concentrated, the processing fees did not rise notably. The processing fees for Africa's lithium ore were around Yuan 18,500-19,000/tonne.
