** Australia-listed lithium miners fall after China proposes
export restrictions on some technology used to make battery
components and process critical minerals lithium and gallium
** Proposed export curbs could throw a spanner in the works
of Australian firms who rely on Chinese tech to produce lithium
chemicals
** Liontown Resources LTR.AX , Pilbara Minerals PLS.AX
and Mineral Resources MIN.AX fall as much as ~3.5% to 1.2%
** In 2024, LTR dropped 68.2%, MIN tumbled 51.1% and PLS
fell 44.6%
