Daily Metals Mining Rundown for 26 Feb 2026 (after-market ASX)

Lithium and platinum pricing rose +14% and +5% over past ~48hrs, to over $25,000/t Li carb (in China) and to $2,275/oz Pt - possibly signaling an anticipated uptick in future demand for personal vehicles (EVs, hybrid, and ICE) - which account for a substantial share of consumption of these two metals; Lithium stocks led among miners over the last trading session, while most miners of other metals were flat or continued to rise gently.
