Why the Charger Metals share price surging
Renewables hype
Charger Metals portfolio is focused on critical metals used in industries such as battery storage, solar and electric vehicles.
As investors might have noticed, this sector has been on fire lately with other ASX-listed lithium developers and producers surging in the past month. This includes:
- Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS) up 42.95% to $2.13
- Galaxy Resources Limited (ASX: GXY) up 31.8% to $4.93
- Lake Resources N.L. (ASX: LKE) up 64% to 61 cents
- Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO) up 56% to 36 cents
With all the above lithium companies surging in valuation, Charger Metals share price might be at the right place at the right time.

- A 70% interest in the Coates Nickel-Copper-Cobalt project
- An 85% interest in Coates North Project
