Construction content

The 700000-ton lithium power new energy and materials integration industrial base project is located in Baiping Industrial Park, Bobai County, Yulin City, Guangxi. The project is based on the new energy vehicle power battery ternary cathode material as the core, from refining, chemical industry to material integration industry chain. The establishment and construction of the 700000-ton lithium power new energy and materials integrated industrial base project will promote the high-quality development of Yulin industry to a new level.

The total investment of the integrated industrial base project of 700000 tons of lithium power and new energy materials is about 130 billion, with a planned annual output of 700000 tons of ternary cathode materials, 500000 tons of lithium iron phosphate, 100000 tons of copper foil and 30, 000 tons of lithium drill acid. The industrial park plans three core areas, which are 7000 mu refining chemical area, 6000 mu lithium material production area, and 2000 mu office and living matching area, which are divided into three phases of construction. Among them, the first phase has an annual output of 150000 tons of lithium ternary cathode materials, 100000 tons of lithium iron phosphate and supporting public auxiliary and infrastructure facilities, with a total investment of 30 billion yuan (including 17.5 billion yuan for the production line). Construction started in July 2020 and was completed and put into production in July 2022.

After the completion of the third phase of the project, the annual business income will be 200 billion yuan, the profits and taxes will be 28 billion yuan, and the social employment population will be increased by about 25000 people. The project will gather the leading enterprises in the global lithium material industry chain, with obvious synergistic advantages of the industrial chain, with strong industrial agglomeration effect, industrial driving effect and product channel advantage. after completion, it will be the largest integrated and regional lithium material manufacturing base in the world.

[SMM News] Lithium Africa Samples 1.98% Lithium Oxide at Agboville's Kanien Trend
September 15th Lithium Africa has defined a second spodumene trend at its Agboville Project in Côte d'Ivoire, with rock samples returning up to 1.98% lithium oxide (Li2O). The company reports 19 spodumene-bearing pegmatite samples from the Kanien trend, 14 above 1% Li2O, extending 2.8 km along a sheared muscovite granite within the licence. Kanien is the district's second primary spodumene trend, alongside the Saby trend, where trenching returned 8 m at 1.1% Li2O. CEO Thomas Benson said the results point to an emerging lithium district rather than isolated occurrences. Kanien lies along strike of spodumene samples up to 1.36% Li2O on an adjacent licence, together defining a spodumene pegmatite corridor of about 7 km across the licence boundary. The company holds about 485 km² of granted licence via a 50/50 joint venture, and has applied for the adjacent 368 km² Sikensi licence. A 2,000 m RC drilling program at Saby was paused for the rainy season after 1,137 m, with results targeted for Q4 2026. The Agboville licence covers 399.27 km², about 85 km north of Abidjan, adding a new West African exploration target to the global spodumene pipeline.

[SMM News] Surge Evolution Nevada North Joint Venture Produces Battery-Grade Lithium Carbonate
The Nevada North Lithium joint venture between Surge Battery Metals and Evolution Mining has produced 99.95% battery-grade lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) from project ore in the US, supporting a Prefeasibility Study for the project. Kemetco Research produced crude Li2CO3 assaying 99% from the Nevada North master composite via beneficiation, sulphuric acid leaching, solution purification, and carbonate precipitation. A portion was refined to the 99.95% battery-grade product. Leaching achieved lithium extractions above 93% at 475 kg acid per tonne of feed, rising to about 98% at higher acid addition, completing within one hour at 90°C. Attrition and screening recovered 98.9% of lithium into the fine fraction while rejecting about 75% of the acid consuming carbonate. CEO Greg Reimer said the work demonstrates the full chain from sedimentary clay to refined battery-grade product. Focus now shifts to pilot-scale testing of recovery, consistency, reagent consumption, and energy performance. Surge also holds the San Emidio Lithium Project in Nevada, adding a US clay-based lithium supply source to the market pipeline.

[SMM News] American Lithium Achieves Higher-Than-Expected Recovery Rates at Falchani Pilot Plant in Peru
Lithium Corporation has fully commissioned and started operating its Falchani lithium pilot plant, in Peru, with operating systems performing as expected. The plant, advanced by consultancy TECMMINE in Lima, is achieving average lithium extraction rates of 88.7%, above the 80% recovery rate expected in a 2024 preliminary economic assessment. With all flowsheet equipment installed and testing, American Lithium is advancing toward full end-to-end flowsheet validation at scale in continuous mode, to confirm bench-scale results. The pilot plant is expected to run continuously at target rates for three months, processing six to ten tonnes of ore from Falchani. Results will feed into future feasibility work.Falchani's volcanic-hosted lithium mineralisation has naturally low impurities, supporting a simple flowsheet capable of producing battery-grade lithium carbonate exceeding 99.5% purity, adding a potential new South American lithium supply source to the market.
