Image source: Getty Images Investing in ASX lithium shares certainly has not come without its fair share of risks.Most lithium producers and explorers rocketed higher in 2022 and into 2023 as the price of the battery critical metal they dig from the ground hit all-time highs.But with demand growth slowing and supply growth ramping up, that trend reversed resulting in an 85% collapse in global lithium prices from those record prices.While prices have somewhat stabilised in 2023, many of the ASX lithium shares with higher costs have found themselves operating at a loss. Some have gone so far as to suspend production, awaiting the return of better market prices.As for the risk of investing in the lithium miners in the past year, here's how these top-name stocks have performed over 12 months:Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS) shares are down 40%Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO) shares are down 87%IGO Ltd (ASX: IGO) shares are down 61%Liontown Resources Ltd (ASX: LTR) shares are down 66%Sayona Mining Ltd (ASX: SYA) shares are down 82%Lake Resources (ASX: LKE) shares are down 87%Latin Resources Ltd (ASX: LRS) are down 51%Patriot Battery Metals Inc (ASX: PMT) are down 67%Mineral Resources Ltd (ASX: MIN) are down 20%I think those figures speak to the formidable risks on investing in ASX lithium shares.At least for the year just past.But what about the year ahead?Are ASX lithium shares still very risky?To be clear, every investment comes with its own unique risks.As for the particular risk of investing in ASX lithium

Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (the “Company” or “Patriot”) (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement to increase its land position at its Corvette Property through the acquisition from Azimut Exploration Inc. (“Azimut”) (TSXV:AZM)(OTCQX:AZMTF) of a 100% interest in a proximal claim block termed JBN-57 (the “Claim Block”), which is comprised of 39 claims (1,995.0 ha) located on trend with the Corvette Property (the “Acquisition”). The Corvette Property, which is wholly owned by the Company, is located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. The CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite, with a maiden mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) of 109.2 Mt at 1.42% Li2O inferred1, is situated approximately 13.5 km south of the regional and all‑weather Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure.Darren L. Smith, Vice President of Exploration for the Company, comments: “The Acquisition is an excellent addition to our Corvette land holdings. The Claim Block overlies a prospective structural corridor and regional contact along geological trend of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite. We look forward to including this new ground in our 2024 summer field work programs.”Figure 1: JBN-57 Location on Total Field Magnetic map.The JBN57 Claim Block is situated immediately adjacent to the north of the Company’s eastern claim block at Corvette (Figure 1). The JBN57 claims cover a local structural corridor and regionally mapped northern contact of the greenstone belt that hosts the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite. The Company believes there is a strong Li-Cs-Ta pegmatite exploration potential over

For these equations, enter percentages as ratios, thus 8% = 0.08 — yes, the financial calculator at the top of the page accepts percentages as integers, but these equations are more portable and universal in part because they avoid certain kinds of hand-holdy conversions. There are several boundary conditions implicit in these equations (conditions for which no meaningful result can be obtained). Example: if a payment is chosen that exactly offsets the accrued interest per period and you try to solve for $np$, the computation will fail because there are an infinite number of periods in that case. Math Notes Status indicator: There is a status indicator at the bottom of the calculator display to alert you that the computation is not complete. This indicator is meant to remind you that new numbers have been entered but a value button has not yet been pressed, which means the displayed values may not represent a consistent result. Interest rate per period: This business of dividing an interest rate by 12 is not mathematically correct, but since banks use the procedure* it's wise to go along, otherwise your numbers will not agree with those of the bank. Interest rate ($ir$) computation: The case of $ir$ cannot be solved without iteration (using a method for which we are indebted to Isaac Newton). This calculator solves for $ir$ using an efficient iteration method that will work for most

This will be the cell where you input the PMT formula.Step 4: Enter the PMT FunctionThe fourth step is to enter the PMT function into the chosen cell.The formula for the PMT function is =PMT(rate, nper, pv), where rate is the interest rate per period, nper is the number of periods, and pv is the present value or principal amount. For a monthly rate, remember to divide the annual rate by 12.Step 5: Press EnterThe fifth step is to press Enter to see the result.Once you press Enter, Excel will calculate the monthly payment based on the information you provided. You should see the payment amount appear in the cell.After completing these steps, you’ll have your periodic payment amount calculated and displayed in your chosen cell. This is incredibly useful for financial planning, whether you’re dealing with mortgages, car loans, or even student loans.Tips for Using the PMT Function in ExcelDouble-check all your input values to avoid errors.Remember to convert annual interest rates to monthly rates by dividing by 12 if you’re calculating monthly payments.Use absolute cell references (e.g., $A$1) to lock in your interest rate or loan amount if you plan to copy the formula to other cells.The PMT function returns a negative value because it’s an outflow of money. Use the ABS function to convert it to a positive value if needed.Consider additional loan-related costs such as taxes and insurance, which are not accounted for in the PMT function.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does the PMT function calculate?The PMT function
