But lately the focus has turned to 'white gold' or lithium. Such is the clamour for white gold that its price soared by 548 per cent to $41,400 per metric tonne in 2021. If you prefer a larger enterprise, Rio Tinto has, despite its Serbian setback, snapped up the Argentinian lithium miner Ricon. Other constituents include albemarle, the world's largest lithium miner. For exposure to this company and the rest of the index, consider the Global X Lithium & Battery Tech exchange traded fund (ETF) or the L&G Battery Value-Chain ETF.
