And it has 2 mining rights and 5 exploration rights of lithium porcelain stone in Yichun area, and it is estimated that it will hold more than 100 million tons of lithium ore resources in the future, and under the premise of free ore, it will carry out deep processing to prepare lithium carbonate products. to a certain extent, it saves a lot of costs and improves the profitability of Jiangte Motor's lithium carbonate business.
It should be noted that after the close on August 6, due to the huge increase in Jiangte Motor shares, with a cumulative increase of more than 594%, the company issued a notice of abnormal stock price fluctuations, explaining that although the company is rich in lithium ore resources, however, it is affected by factors such as limited mining capacity, long working cycle of "exploration and conversion" mining in mines with large reserves, and tight procurement of raw materials in the market. There is uncertainty about the company's target for lithium carbonate production this year. Previously, Jiangte Motor set a target production capacity of 27200 tons of lithium carbonate for the company.
