Growth opportunities in Canadian lithium stocks: Three hot picks from Cole McGill

Lithium stocks have fallen 30 per cent since early March but the commodity still stands to benefit from its vital role in electric-vehicle production, one financial expert says.

Speaking with BNN Bloomberg’s Amber Kanwar on Thursday, Cole McGill, associate vice-president of mining and metals research at Stifel, said lithium is key to electric-vehicle production, and for this reason, governments around the world are pouring a lot of money into lithium-producing projects.
