The first phase of the project plans to build an annual production capacity of 50, 000 tons of cathode materials, of which the production capacity of 20, 000 tons of cathode materials in the first phase of the project has already completed the construction of the production plant and the installation of the production line. Is carrying on the production line debugging and the product trial production work, the market space is big, has the strong profitability.

Progress and commissioning of the production capacity of 20,000 tons of cathode materials in the first phase of the Changzhou Dangsheng Phase I project: the 10,000-ton production line has completed production line construction, power commissioning, commissioning with materials, and preparation of important international customer test samples. 50% of the production lines have reached the scheduled state of use and have been officially put into production and transferred to fixed assets in November 2020, and the remaining 50% of the production lines are in the process of customer confirmation and other finishing work. It is expected to be put into production in December 2020. Another 10,000-ton production line has completed equipment installation, water and electrical wiring and power commissioning, and is carrying out material debugging and customer test sample preparation.

[SMM News] Frontier Lithium Taps DRA Americas for Updated PAK Feasibility Study, Targets Q1 2027 Release
TSX-V-listed Frontier Lithium has appointed DRA Americas to conduct an updated feasibility study on its PAK lithium project in Ontario, Canada. The study will incorporate work completed since the 2025 feasibility study, including value engineering results, with a focus on optimising project economics and derisking execution. Publication is expected in Q1 2027. Frontier Lithium continues to advance permitting and consultation for PAK under Ontario's One Project, One Process framework, alongside Indigenous engagement, environmental studies, and infrastructure initiatives. CEO Trevor Walker said the update aims to capture progress made to date and position the project's "Mine and Mill" stage for its next phase, citing PAK's high grade lithium resource, Ontario location, and rising North American demand for secure domestic critical mineral supply. The move reflects a broader push by North American jurisdictions to build domestic lithium supply chains as automakers and battery makers look beyond China-linked sources, with the updated study marking a standard step toward a final investment decision.

[SMM News] Vulcan Energy Secures Second Production Licence for Lionheart Project in Germany
Australia and Frankfurt-listed Vulcan Energy has secured a second lithium production licence, valid six years, for its Lionheart project in Germany, currently under construction. The new Ilka licence follows an earlier grant covering the LiThermEx area, making it the second such licence issued in the Upper Rhine Valley Brine Field and Rhineland-Palatinate state. Lionheart's first phase targets 24,000 t/y of lithium hydroxide monohydrate, enough for about 500,000 EVs annually, alongside 275GWh of renewable power and 560GWh of heat per year from its integrated geothermal component, over an estimated 30 year project life. The Ilka licence expires September 2032, after which Vulcan will seek to merge its two production licences into one. CEO Cris Moreno said the licence validates progress toward becoming Europe's leading low-cost lithium producer, with construction on track for first production in 2028. Lionheart combines brine based lithium extraction with geothermal power, positioning it to supply EV battery-grade lithium hydroxide into the European market without reliance on imported spodumene or carbonate feedstock.
