Recently, the first public notice for the environmental impact evaluation of the annual high-quality recycling of 150,000 tons of new energy power batteries comprehensive utilization project by Jiangsu Zhenghe Xinrui New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. was released. Upon completion, the project will have an annual capacity to process 150,000 tons of new energy power batteries. It will be built in two phases: Phase I processes 100,000 tons of new energy power batteries annually and includes a metal research laboratory; Phase II processes 50,000 tons annually.

SQM, Codelco Outline Expansion Plan to Lift Lithium Output to 470,000 mt/y

SQM and Codelco's lithium joint venture, Novandino, has outlined plans in an environmental impact assessment (EIA) filing to increase annual lithium production capacity from around 270,000 mt currently to as much as 470,000 mt. The expansion is aimed at meeting long-term demand from electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage. According to the filing, production will first gradually rise to around 300,000 mt before transitioning over seven years to an integrated production system incorporating direct lithium extraction (DLE), with additional capacity expected to come online over several years.

Congo cobalt exporters fear losing quotas due to administrative glitch, sources say

According to an industry letter seen by Reuters, exporters have been unable to submit export declarations through the customs platform since July 1 because ARECOMS, the Democratic Republic of Congo's strategic minerals regulator, has not formally notified customs to continue processing export quotas. As a result, major producers including CMOC Group, Glencore, Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) and Huayou Cobalt have been unable to complete export procedures. Meanwhile, ARECOMS requires companies to utilize their first-half export quotas by July 5, after which any unused volumes will be withdrawn and reallocated. Industry sources estimate that around 60%–75% of companies are unlikely to meet the deadline due to administrative delays. If the issue is not resolved promptly, up to 20,000 tonnes of cobalt exports, worth approximately US$1.1 billion at current prices, could be affected. CMOC alone could lose almost all of its second-quarter export quota. SMM will continue to monitor developments.

Tinci Materials Terminates 243,000-tpy Lithium Battery Materials Project

Tinci Materials announced that its subsidiary Nantong Tinci has terminated its planned 243,000-tpy lithium battery and fluorochemical materials project. The company said the decision was driven by an oversupply in the electrolyte industry, intensified market competition, and changes in the fluorochemical market, which weakened the project's expected returns. Tinci has begun evaluating new product plans for its Nantong facility.
