The 10,000-ton battery-grade lithium carbonate project at Zhabuye Salt Lake has successfully started the trial production phase. Recently, all membrane process sections provided by Beijing's Technology have been successfully put into operation at the pre-concentration salt field of the Zhabuye salt lake, marking the official commencement of the trial production work at the salt field. This project is the first modern large-scale industrial project in the Tibet region and the first project to comprehensively develop and utilize salt lake resources. It is also Beijing's first large-scale lithium extraction project using membrane technology in Tibet, with the project employing the efficient "membrane separation + evaporation crystallization" process to recover lithium and potassium resources from Zhabuye Salt Lake.

[SMM Analysis] US Launches "Gold Reserve Plan", Adding Uncertainty to DRC Cobalt Ore Supply

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), as the world's largest supplier of cobalt resources, accounted for over 70% of the global cobalt raw material supply in 2024. In 2025, the export ban and quota policies implemented by the country have already triggered significant fluctuations in cobalt prices. At a time when its cobalt ore exports have not yet resumed large-scale shipments, the United States has successively launched a critical minerals reserve plan, intensifying the competition for global resource dominance. This not only introduces new uncertainties to the cobalt supply system in the DRC but also further elevates the geopolitical risks for Chinese enterprises in securing cobalt resources.
