Bernard Aylward, the CEO of Kodal Minerals , joins Vox to talk about the company's nascent lithium production project in Mali, how it's going and what the expansion plans are. Set in motion with an initial US$65 million in capital, the Bougouni project is now up and running, with plans to develop a much larger, stage 2 operation in 2026. In the background, the lithium price has improved markedly, and the mining sector in general has come alive as Kodal has got Bougouni going. So, says Aylward, 2025 was a very good year, and 2026 could be even better
