For the reasons for the growth in performance, Rongjie shares said in the announcement that the prices of upstream materials in the lithium battery industry continued to rise sharply, and the demand for lithium materials and lithium equipment continued to increase, which had a positive impact on the company's lithium mining business, lithium salt processing and smelting business, and lithium equipment manufacturing business.

According to public information, Rongjie's main business includes lithium mining and separation industry, lithium salt and deep processing, lithium power equipment, of which lithium salt processing and smelting revenue account for more than 50%.

According to the semi-annual report of 2021, Chengdu Rongjie Lithium Industry Lithium Salt Project is planned to be 40,000 tons / year. Changhehua Lithium has a production capacity of 3000 tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate and 1800 tons of lithium hydroxide. According to the Northeast Securities Research report, the planned production capacity of lithium salt in 2022 will increase by 833% compared with 2020.

According to a survey conducted by the China Automotive Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance, the price of lithium materials rose the most from the beginning of 2021 to March 2022, with the average price of spodumene rising from 25000 yuan / ton to 136000 yuan / ton, an increase of 444 percent. The average price of battery-grade lithium carbonate rose from 53000 yuan / ton to 495000 yuan / ton, an increase of 833.9%. According to the Huabao Securities Research report, lithium carbonate has maintained a high level of nearly 500000 yuan / ton since April.

In addition, the lithium ore concentration project of Kangding Rongjie Lithium Industry is planned to be 2.5 million tons per year. After the project is completed and put into production, it can supply about 470000 tons of lithium concentrate per year.

Public information shows that Rongjie shares hold a 55% stake in Dongguan Derry.
