# Clink Lithium Vault – Mine-Level SKU Analytics ($0.15)

> Clink Lithium Vault – Mine-Level SKU Analytics ($0.15) is a paid API for AI agents from clink-lithium-vault.fly.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.15/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns one of two analytical fields for a named lithium mine: AISC cost-curve percentile with peer ranking (costcurve) or NPV/IRR/capex project economics by scenario (economics), sourced from primary cited data.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability clink-lithium-vault-mine-level-sku-analytics-0-15-609b191a
```

Example prompt: Pull the cost-curve percentile and nearest peer mines for Pilgangoora — I want to see where it sits in the global lithium universe at the mine level.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need primary-sourced, peer-benchmarked cost-curve positioning or detailed project finance economics for a specific lithium mine — especially when cross-entity peer ranking (not reproducible from a single database call) is required. Prefer the costcurve SKU for competitive benchmarking and the economics SKU for M&A, project finance, or investment screening. Choose the $0.05 sibling endpoint for simpler AISC, production, or reserves lookups, and the $2 sibling for royalty and streaming details.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown mine name returns an error or empty result — entity must match a tracked mine in the database
- Invalid SKU value (anything other than 'costcurve' or 'economics') returns a validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance results in HTTP 402 and no data returned
- Level parameter mismatch (e.g. using 'company' for a mine-only entity) may return no result
- Mine not yet covered in the tracked universe returns empty or not-found response

## How this service works

Lithium mine analytics, pick one $0.15 field: sku=costcurve (this mine's AISC cost-curve percentile + nearest peers across the whole tracked universe — not reproducible from a single-entity call) or sku=economics (study NPV/IRR/capex per scenario, discount rate, mine life, payback). Primary-source, cited. ?sku=<id>&entity=<MineName>&level=mine. Spodumene brine lithium battery metals; cost curve AISC NPV.

## Output

A structured JSON object for the requested mine containing either: (costcurve) the mine's AISC cost-curve percentile rank within the full tracked lithium universe plus nearest peer mines with comparative data; or (economics) project-level financial metrics including NPV, IRR, capex by scenario, discount rate assumptions, mine life, and payback period. Data is primary-source and cited.
