These 4 lithium shares began 2023 with a big bang!

There’s nothing like a project with a US$1.5bn NPV

Among all lithium shares, the biggest news came from European Lithium (ASX:EUR) this morning. This company is expecting to unveil a DFS for its Wolfsberg project in Austria, during the first quarter of 2023. In advance of the release, the company unveiled the Net Present Value (NPV), which was US$1.5bn, based on the Measured and Indicated resource of 9.7mt at 1% lithium from the 2018 Pre-feasibility Study (PFS). The stock was up more than 4% on the back of this news.

Lake Resources is expanding its resource base

Another company that’s trying to pin down just how much of a resource it has is Lake Resources (ASX:LKE). This company, which has the Kachi lithium brine project in Argentina, doubled its Measured and Indicated resource to 2.2Mt of lithium carbonate. In addition to this is a further 3.1Mt in Indicated resources. 

I love the smell of good drilling results in the morning

Also this morning, Aruma Resources (ASX:AAJ) unveiled drilling results at its Mt Deans project in Western Australia. Results included grades of up to 1.94% lithium with an average of 0.84%.

Excited shareholders sent Aruma’s share price up by over 45% this morning. This illustrates that there’s nothing like exploration results to get investors in lithium shares excited!
