[12.27 Lithium Express] Li Ganfeng Lithium Industry: the bid for Bacanora has been approved by the Mexican government Lithium salt enterprises expect that the concentrate will be in the most critical moment next year. Some lithium enterprises have received quotations of 300000 yuan per ton. During the second Qinghai-Tibet Scientific Expedition, important lithium and beryllium metallogenic belts were discovered in Qinghai. Citic Securities: next year, the new global supply of lithium can meet the growth of downstream demand and will not become a hard constraint on the development of the electric vehicle industry. Li Xiaopeng responded that he planned to introduce AVIC Lithium: the supply chain needs to be continuously improved. The concentrated construction ceremony of Guizhou project in the era of Li Ningde was held.

[Ganfeng Lithium Industry: the bid for Bacanora has been approved by the Mexican government] Ganfeng Lithium disclosed the progress of its subsidiary Shanghai Ganfeng's tender offer for Bacanora involving mining rights investment. recently, the company received notice from Shanghai Ganfeng that the Mexican government has approved the above offer. So far, more than 75% of Bacanora shareholders have accepted the tender offer, and the tender offer process will remain open to Bacanora shareholders who have not accepted it until further notice. According to relevant laws and regulations, Bacanora will apply to the London Stock Exchange for delisting, which is expected to take effect at 7:00 (London time) on January 26th, 2022.

[lithium salt enterprises expect that the concentrate will be in the most critical moment next year. Lithium enterprises have received quotations of 300000 yuan / ton.] the third round of lithium salt price increases have come, and some lithium enterprises have received quotations of 300000 yuan / ton. In addition, driven by downstream demand, lithium salt supply is insufficient, upstream enterprises basically do not implement long orders. Some lithium salt companies predict that the concentrate will usher in the most critical moment next year.

According to the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Qinghai Geological Survey Institute, during the second comprehensive scientific expedition of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, geological researchers discovered the granite-pegmatite belt related to the mineralization of rare metals such as lithium, beryllium and tungsten during the Indosinian period in Bayankara, Qinghai Province. This is the first time that this type of deposit has been found in Bayan Kara area of Qinghai Province.

[Citic Securities: the new global supply of lithium can meet the growth of downstream demand next year will not become a hard constraint on the development of the electric vehicle industry.] Citic Securities believes that the new global supply of lithium in 2022 can meet the growth of downstream demand and will not become a hard constraint on the development of the electric vehicle industry. It is expected that the configuration logic of the lithium plate will shift from "price increase" to "performance", which will become the trigger and the main driving force of the plate.

[Xiaopeng Motor response intends to introduce AVIC Lithium: supply chain needs to be continuously improved] in response to the news that Xiaopeng intends to introduce AVIC Lithium (AVIC Innovation), Xiaopeng Automobile's relevant person in charge responded to the Financial Associated Press reporter, "the parts supply chain of vehicle production needs to be continuously improved in order to better guarantee supply and production and predict the delivery cycle more accurately." Xiao Cai Note: there were rumors that he Xiaopeng planned to introduce a new main battery supplier, which is AVIC Lithium.

[Ningde era Guizhou project centralized start ceremony held] the Ningde era Guizhou project centralized start ceremony was held on December 24 at the site of the Guizhou new energy power and energy storage battery manufacturing base project in Ningde era in Gui'an New area. Ningde era Guizhou new energy power and energy storage battery production base project is located at Jiaobaima Avenue in Gui'an New District. The first phase of the project covers an area of about 885mu and has an annual production capacity of 30GWh. In addition to the main venue of Gui'an New area, Ningde Times held the opening ceremony of the LIFSI project invested by the holding subsidiary time Sikang and the projects such as lithium hexafluorophosphate and iron phosphate in cooperation with Guizhou Phosphating Group at the branch venues of Kaiyang County, Xifeng County and Fuquan City.
