Published: Jul 20, 2020 11:15

SMM News: Xiaopeng announced today that it has signed the C+ round financing with the participation of well-known investment institutions such as Aspex, Coatue, Hillhouse Capital and Sequoia China, with a financing amount of nearly 500m US dollars.

The successful signing of the C+ round financing fully reflects investors' confidence in Xiaopeng's strategy, market positioning and its long-term vision as a leader in smart electric vehicles in China.

Since its inception, Xiaopeng has been committed to manufacturing intelligent electric vehicles through advanced self-research technology to provide intelligent electric vehicle experience for China's fast-growing and technology-advocating mid-range consumers, and the signing of C+ round financing has further strengthened the long-term positioning of Xiaopeng Automobile.

Xiaopeng Automobile has achieved a number of enterprise milestones in the past six months, which is full of challenges affected by the new crown epidemic, including the successful launch of the second intelligent sedan car, Xiaopeng P7, in April this year, and Xiaopeng Automobile Zhaoqing Intelligent Factory, which also has independent production capacity. It won the production qualification in May this year.

Xiaopeng announced in November 2019 that it had received $400 million in round C financing.

SQM, Codelco Outline Expansion Plan to Lift Lithium Output to 470,000 mt/y
SQM and Codelco's lithium joint venture, Novandino, has outlined plans in an environmental impact assessment (EIA) filing to increase annual lithium production capacity from around 270,000 mt currently to as much as 470,000 mt. The expansion is aimed at meeting long-term demand from electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage. According to the filing, production will first gradually rise to around 300,000 mt before transitioning over seven years to an integrated production system incorporating direct lithium extraction (DLE), with additional capacity expected to come online over several years.

Congo cobalt exporters fear losing quotas due to administrative glitch, sources say
According to an industry letter seen by Reuters, exporters have been unable to submit export declarations through the customs platform since July 1 because ARECOMS, the Democratic Republic of Congo's strategic minerals regulator, has not formally notified customs to continue processing export quotas. As a result, major producers including CMOC Group, Glencore, Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) and Huayou Cobalt have been unable to complete export procedures. Meanwhile, ARECOMS requires companies to utilize their first-half export quotas by July 5, after which any unused volumes will be withdrawn and reallocated. Industry sources estimate that around 60%–75% of companies are unlikely to meet the deadline due to administrative delays. If the issue is not resolved promptly, up to 20,000 tonnes of cobalt exports, worth approximately US$1.1 billion at current prices, could be affected. CMOC alone could lose almost all of its second-quarter export quota. SMM will continue to monitor developments.
