A lithium mine with 520,000 mt of reserve was discovered in Aba prefecture, Sichuan province recently, Chinese media reported.

The grade of lithium ore was 1.77%, which means it was considered one of the few higher-grade lithium mines in China with great potential. It may also change the landscape in lithium investment in the country.
