What’s interesting about Snow Lake’s rapid rise is that this company is far from what most investors would think of as a hypergrowth stock. It’s a lithium miner, not a software or electric vehicle startup. However, it seems there are a few reasons investors are still jumping on board.

As a miner of battery-grade lithium, Snow Lake’s business model is intriguing to investors. Given the amount of growth expected via the electrification trend, lithium miners have become viewed as picks-and-shovels plays (perhaps literally) on this catalyst.

Beyond that, the world will need a lot more lithium to reach its electrification goals. Accordingly, investors appear to be seeking out high-grade lithium producers such as Snow Lake.

So what else do you need to know? Let’s dive into a few fast facts as Snow Lake starts trading today.
