On August 17, Yongtai Technology disclosed that the trial production plan for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inner Mongolia Yongtai Chemical Co., Ltd.'s annual 6,666.6-ton VC project was reviewed and approved by experts on August 15, 2026, and has met the conditions for trial production, which will now commence. The company's original VC production capacity was 10,000 tons/year. With the addition of this new 6,666.6-ton/year capacity, the company's total production capacity for the electrolyte additive VC will reach 16,666.6 tons/year. The commissioning of this project will further enhance the company's VC production capacity and economies of scale, strengthen its business development in the lithium battery materials sector, consolidate its industry position and market share, and contribute to improving the company's overall market competitiveness and profitability.

Core Lithium Resumes Spodumene Production at Finniss, Boosting Capacity by 20% After Two-Year Break

On September 8th, Core Lithium has produced first spodumene concentrate from the recommissioned Finniss processing plant in the Northern Territory, marking a milestone in the company's staged restart of the operation. Core Lithium restarted mining at the Grants openpit in May and recommissioned the crushing circuit in August to build sufficient crushed ore stockpiles for processing. First concentrate was achieved within six months of the company's final investment decision to proceed with the Finniss restart. The company has undertaken targeted upgrades to debottleneck the processing circuit and optimise recoveries, including screen refurbishments, rolls crusher enhancements and improvements to the ferrosilicon distribution system. Crushing and dense media separation operations have been consolidated into a single control room. These upgrades are expected to increase plant throughput capacity by about 20% to 1.2 million t/y. Finniss began initial spodumene concentrate production in February 2023 before being placed on care and maintenance in mid-2024 amid a downturn in lithium prices. The project has since been repositioned as a lower-cost, long-life operation with a 20-year mine life and average production of 214,000 t/y. Finniss is the only major hard-rock lithium mine operating outside of Western Australia.
