The development of new energy promotes the growth of demand for lithium salt. China builds a world-class salt lake industrial base.

[live broadcast] 2021 the sixth China International Nickel, Cobalt and Lithium Summit Forum was solemnly held!

A few days ago, the first meeting of the leading group for the preparation of the action plan for the construction of a world-class salt lake industrial base was held in Xining to deliberate and discuss the "Action Plan for the Construction of a World-class Salt Lake Industrial Base (first draft)." It is understood that the leading group for the preparation of the action plan for the construction of a world-class salt lake industrial base plans to hold a domestic expert discussion meeting on the "Action Plan" in Beijing on May 20 to listen to the specific opinions of well-known academicians and experts and scholars in the domestic salt lake field on the evaluation, revision and improvement of the "Action Plan (first draft)," so as to ensure that the action plan is more scientific, forward-looking, and operable.

About 90% of the lithium resources in China are found in salt lake brine, which are mainly distributed in Qinghai and Tibet. The agency pointed out that at present, Qinghai Dongtai Jinnell, Xitaijinel, Chaerhan, Yiliping and Zabuye Salt Lake in Tibet have basically achieved industrial production, with a production capacity of about 100000 tons. The cash cost of producing a ton of lithium carbonate through a salt lake is US $4000-6000, which is significantly lower than that of extracting lithium from hard rock mines (the cash cost of producing a ton of lithium carbonate is US $6000-9000).

According to the theme database of the Financial Associated Press, among the relevant listed companies:

The Argentine Lithium Salt Lake project with a stake in Mount Qomolangma in Tibet is under way and will achieve an annual production capacity of 25000-30000 tons of LCE (lithium carbonate equivalent) when completed.

Dalangtan Mining area of Zangge Holdings is located in the northwest of Qaidam Basin, which is rich in mineral resources. it is a comprehensive ore field dominated by potash and symbiotic with lithium, magnesium and mirabilite.
