Cost bridge to US$/t LCE
Implied · no reported cost No unit cost is published for this operation. Li3atlas computes one from the filing: segment cost of sales ÷ sales volume. That is a fully loaded accounting cost (includes depreciation, royalties and any bought-in feed), so it is not like-for-like with reported cash costs. Filing used for the inputs
