[3,000 mt Lithium Battery Project on the Way] On June 18, Dazhong Mining announced that it plans to construct the "3,000 mt/year New Material Project for Lithium Metal Batteries" in Linwu County, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan. Specifically, the project will be constructed in three phases to establish a production line for new materials for lithium metal batteries. Phase I will focus on R&D, with the development, pilot-scale testing, and medium-scale testing of new materials for lithium metal batteries to be completed by 2025. Phase II is planned to commence construction in April 2026, aiming to establish a production line with an annual capacity of 1,000 mt of new materials for lithium metal batteries, which is expected to be operational by the end of 2027. Phase III is scheduled to begin construction in June 2027, with the goal of establishing a production line with an annual capacity of 2,000 mt of new materials for lithium metal batteries, which is expected to be operational by the end of 2028.
