What went wrong for the Core Lithium share price?
The Core Lithium share price's initial gains turned sour on Tuesday. The stock's rollercoaster performance followed the release of good news about the Finniss Lithium Project.
The Northern Territory's Minister of Environment, Eva Lawler, has given the thumbs up to an underground mine at the project.
Now, the company will work to submit a mine management plan to the Department of Industry, Tourism, and Trade.
Core Lithium expects the first ore from the project to be on board ships at the end of 2022.
However, Core Lithium wasn't the only ASX lithium share to trade in the red today.
It was joined by the likes of Argosy Minerals Limited (ASX: AGY), Mineral Resources Ltd (ASX: MIN), and Liontown Resources Ltd (ASX: LTR).
