On the evening of June 30, Tibet Mining released the "Announcement on the Progress of the Comprehensive Green Development and Utilization of the 10,000 mt Battery-Grade Lithium Carbonate Project at Tibet Zabuye Salt Lake." The announcement disclosed the latest progress of the comprehensive green development and utilization project at Tibet Zabuye Salt Lake. It stated that the 10,000 mt battery-grade lithium carbonate production line in the Tibet Zabuye project officially launched its trial production phase on June 30.

At the same time, the construction of supporting energy facilities is also being accelerated in an orderly manner. The core process of the project adopts the "membrane separation + evaporation crystallization" technology, aiming to efficiently recover valuable resources such as lithium and potassium contained in the Zabuye Salt Lake. According to the project design plan, it is expected to produce 9,600 mt/year of battery-grade lithium carbonate, 2,400 mt/year of industrial-grade lithium carbonate, and by-products including 156,000 mt/year of potassium chloride and 200 mt/year of rubidium-cesium mixed salt, injecting new vitality into the green economic development of Tibet.

India to build a six-month strategic stockpile of lithium, cobalt and rare earths as demand rises

Amid sustained demand growth, India plans to build a strategic reserve of critical minerals including lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper and rare earths. The stockpile will be sized to cover six months of domestic consumption, aiming to guard against risks of global supply disruptions and sharp raw material price volatility. Led by India’s Ministry of Mines and Ministry of Heavy Industries, the reserve covers key raw materials essential for new energy vehicles, energy storage and the electronics sector, fields where India currently relies heavily on imports. At present, the United States, China, South Korea and other countries have already established strategic reserve systems for critical minerals.
