58.39亿元！5GWh！青海一钠电池及储能装备制造项目开工

According to information from the Haidong Industrial Park, on April 20, the key project introduced by the Haidong Industrial Park in Qinghai Province — the sodium-ion battery and energy storage equipment manufacturing project of Qinghai Zhaorui New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. — officially commenced construction.

It is reported that the Qinghai Zhaorui New Energy sodium-ion battery and energy storage equipment manufacturing project has a total investment of 5.839 billion yuan, covering an area of 278 mu. Focusing on the high-end new energy manufacturing sector, the project is expected to build two core production sites: a 5 Gwh sodium-ion battery cell facility and a 5 Gwh energy storage equipment manufacturing facility. The project is precisely aligned with the Haidong Industrial Park's positioning as a hub for new energy and new materials industries. Leveraging Qinghai's green electricity resource advantages, it is expected to create a leading sodium-ion battery and energy storage equipment manufacturing hub in north-west China with top-tier scale and technology, drive the park's new energy industry toward high-end and full-chain development, address shortcomings in energy storage equipment manufacturing, promote upstream and downstream industrial clustering, and accelerate the construction of a "green electricity + energy storage + equipment manufacturing" industrial ecosystem, effectively optimizing the park's industrial structure and enhancing core competitiveness. Upon completion, the project will fill the gap in Qinghai Province's sodium-ion battery industry, further optimize the park's industrial layout and activate green development momentum. It is expected to generate an annual output value of approximately 6.3 billion yuan and annual tax revenue of 380 million yuan, directly creating 1,400 jobs and indirectly creating 1,800 jobs, powerfully driving high-quality economic and social development in the park and injecting a strong new engine for industrial transformation and upgrading in Haidong City.

Public information shows that Qinghai Zhaorui New Energy was established in March 2026. Its business scope includes new energy prime mover equipment manufacturing; NEV auto sales; NEV electrical accessory sales; NEV battery swapping facility sales; NEV production and testing equipment sales; battery manufacturing; battery sales; battery parts and accessories sales; and storage battery leasing, among other businesses. The company is wholly owned by Guangdong Zhaorui New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.

【Core Lithium: BP33 Portal Cut Completed; Finniss Stockpiled Material Shipped via Darwin Port】

On June 22, Core Lithium announced that the logistics chain at its Finniss Lithium Operation is now fully operational, with the first shipment of lithium fines and stockpiled spodumene concentrate successfully exported through Darwin Port. The company also reported progress at the BP33 underground project. Contractor Develop Global has mobilized to site, the BP33 portal cut has been completed, and underground decline development has officially commenced. According to Core, BP33 development will progress in parallel with mining activities at the Grants open pit. The Grants mine is expected to deliver up to approximately 134,000 tonnes of SC5 spodumene product, with ore processing scheduled to commence in the September quarter. Product shipments are expected to continue through 2027. SMM notes that these developments indicate Core Lithium is transitioning from stockpile monetization and logistics reactivation toward the practical restart of the Finniss operation. However, the material currently being shipped primarily originates from previously announced stockpile sales, including approximately 20,000 tonnes of lithium DSO fines and around 5,100 dry metric tonnes of spodumene concentrate, rather than newly mined production. Going forward, the market will closely monitor the progress of ore processing at Grants, the pace of underground development at BP33, and the timing of the first shipments of newly produced SC5/SC6 spodumene products.
