Welcome to the February 2019 edition of the "junior" lithium miner news. We have categorized those lithium miners that won't likely be in production before 2020 as the juniors. Investors are reminded that most of the lithium juniors will most likely be needed in the mid-2020s to supply the booming electric vehicle [EV] and energy storage markets. This means investing in these companies requires a higher risk tolerance and a longer time frame. Top 3 Lithium Stocks - Why Lithium  

February saw lithium prices stabilize and plenty of updates and news from the lithium juniors.

Lithium spot and contract price news
