The websites www.li-ionnews.com and www.lithiumnews.com are both operational. These websites will be used as a news and information portal for the Li-ion raw materials industry, the vehicle industry and consumers. To date, the website has recorded more than 100 hits per day, and this has grown by 30% per month since inception in May 2009. Since May 2009, when the collection of statistics was initiated, search returns for Lithium-ion had increased by 20% by July (11% month-on-month in June and 8% month-on-month in July), indicating the need for information on the burgeoning Li-ion industry.

An index has been created,  the Li-ion Market Index which is composed of a cross section of listed companies that mine or use Lithium in their production processes and has outperformed the Dow (DJIA) and S&P 500 since inception.

The Li-ion industry will evolve at an extremely fast pace. Only participants in the Li-ion industry  that can keep abreast of the latest technologies will remain competitive enough to survive the continuous evolution of the industry.
