Hainan Mining announced that its Bougouni Lithium Mine in Mali had achieved its 2024 mining and stripping target ahead of schedule.

On December 23rd, Hainan Mining announced that its Bougouni Lithium Mine in Mali had achieved its 2024 mining and stripping target ahead of schedule. The total volume of mining and stripping reached 1.475 million cubic meters, surpassing the originally planned annual target of 1.473 million cubic meters. Among this, raw ore production totaled 215,000 tons, achieving 143% of the annual production plan.

It is anticipated that the Bougouni Lithium Mine's total annual mining and stripping volume in 2024 will reach 1.55 million cubic meters, representing a completion rate of 105.2% of the annual target. Raw ore production is expected to hit 230,000 tons, achieving a 151.5% completion rate for the annual plan.

The mining and stripping project commenced on July 3rd, with the first blasting conducted on August 23rd. By November 26th, the deployment of mixed emulsion explosives vehicles was completed. Next, the Bougouni Lithium Mine plans to further optimize the installation processes for its beneficiation plant and formulate comprehensive commissioning strategies.

[SMM Flash] California Opens Expanded Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery Factory

American Lithium Energy has opened its expanded lithium-ion battery factory in Vista, California, increasing the site from 23,000 to 82,000 square feet for aerospace, defense, industrial and high-value storage applications. The expansion received more than USD 13 million in state grants and helped mobilize a further USD 40 million to USD 50 million from private and federal sources to scale 18650-cell production and validate high-capacity silicon-anode prismatic batteries. No annual output figure was disclosed, so the milestone confirms an operating factory and pilot production capability but does not establish a specific GWh-scale nameplate capacity.

[SMM News] Brazil regulator orders partial halt at Sigma Lithium mine over ‘imminent risk’

On October 2(nd), Sigma Lithium has suspended all mining and industrial activities at its Grota do Cirilo operation in Brazil, its sole producing asset, pending a federal appeals court ruling on a preliminary injunction over its environmental licences. Brazil's national mining agency (ANM) had ordered mining halted on the eastern slope of the north pit. Concentrate output from the site is halted during the suspension, and sales of lithium fines continue. Sigma pushed back its 12-month production guidance of 240,000 mt by three months and maintains its FY2027 target of 330,000 mt of concentrate.
