Companhia Brasileira de Lítio Leverages Metalshub for Enhanced Price Discovery

Düsseldorf, Germany, 21 Aug 2025 – Metalshub, the leading software provider for the metals and mining industry, is pleased to announce that Companhia Brasileira de Lítio (CBL), Brazil’s only integrated lithium miner and refinery, has chosen to leverage Metalshub’s digital sales solution to strengthen its price discovery capabilities and achieve more competitive commercial outcomes. CBL, a major supplier of spodumene concentrate, technical and battery-grade lithium carbonate and hydroxide, serves both Brazil’s domestic market and global customers.

By adopting Metalshub’s platform for selected lithium carbonate shipments, both battery-grade and technical-grade, CBL will gain transparent, data-driven market insights, fostering a more liquid spot market and enabling fair, market-driven pricing for lithium products. The collaboration aligns with CBL’s strategic growth plans to expand production capacity in response to rising global demand for sustainably produced lithium, while reflecting Metalshub’s commitment to growing alongside our clients.

Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Minas Gerais, CBL operates the Mina da Cachoeira underground mine and a chemical processing plant in Divisa Alegre, where spodumene concentrate is refined into high-purity lithium carbonate and hydroxide. The company maintains rigorous environmental, safety, and quality standards, holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and the Bureau Veritas ESG 360 certifications, and is recognised as a leading player in Brazil’s rapidly growing lithium sector.

This pioneering step makes CBL one of the first Brazilian lithium producers to adopt a digital approach, setting a benchmark for innovation in the sector. Metalshub’s co-founder and managing director, Dr. Frank Jackel, welcomed the partnership: “We are delighted to welcome CBL to Metalshub. As a pioneer in integrated lithium production in Brazil, CBL shares our commitment to innovation, transparency, and efficiency in the metals and mining sector. Their adoption of our sales solution underscores the growing importance of digital tools in unlocking value for producers and ensuring fair, data-driven pricing.”

This collaboration reflects the increasing role of digitalisation in the global lithium industry, as producers seek greater pricing transparency and commercial optimisation amid evolving market conditions and the accelerating energy transition.

Companhia Brasileira de Lítio (CBL) is Brazil’s only integrated lithium mining and refining company, supplying spodumene concentrate, technical and battery-grade lithium carbonate, and lithium hydroxide. Operating since 1991, CBL mines spodumene in Araçuaí and Itinga, Minas Gerais, and processes it into high-purity lithium chemicals at its facility in Divisa Alegre.
