5E Advanced Materials Supports Fastmarkets’ Efforts to Increase Visibility of the Global Boron Market

Company applauds Fastmarkets as it relaunches price assessments for technical-grade boric acid, helping support improved market transparency

HESPERIA, Calif., Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq: FEAM) (ASX: 5EA) (“5E” or the “Company”), a boron and lithium company with U.S. government Critical Infrastructure designation for its 5E Boron Americas Complex, today announces its support for, and applauds the decision by Fastmarkets to relaunch its boric acid price assessments and data.  

Fastmarkets, one of the most reputable cross-commodity price reporting agencies (PRA) across the global metals, mining, and new generation energy markets, relaunched its price assessments for technical grade boric acid. Fastmarkets expressed its intention to bring more transparency to the boron market, and these prices aim to serve the permanent magnet, energy and defense sectors.

J.T. Starzecki, Chief Strategy Officer of 5E Advanced Materials commented, “We applaud Fastmarkets for the agency’s relaunch of a technical-grade boric acid price. We believe this effort enhances overall clarity in market pricing for the commodity, which in turn will help to create a more efficient marketplace and bring more buyers and sellers together. Additionally, we believe this effort underscores the increasing significance of boron and boric acid in the ongoing energy transition and other critically important industries it serves.

Starzecki concluded, “5E is dedicated to executing its vision to become a global leader and supplier of boric acid and boron specialty materials, and these price assessments help broaden the visibility of the global boron market. Further, this builds on the growing support that the critical material has received recently from industry, legislators, and federal agencies.”
