The first shipments of spodumene concentrate from Zimbabwe's Bikita mine have begun

        On September 7, 2023, the first 10,000 tons of spodumene fine ore powder from the Bikita mine in Zimbabwe owned by China Mineral Resources Group Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "China Mineral Resources") began to be shipped back to China to supply the 3 tons of spodumene fine ore powder under construction by China Mineral Resources.50,000 tons of battery grade lithium hydroxide and battery grade lithium carbonate production line raw material demand。This shipment,This marks a steady supply of spodumene concentrate from the Bikita mine，This is also after the Bikita mine began shipments of translithic feldspar concentrate in July 2022，Another stable supply of lithium ore resources obtained from the middle mineral resources，It has laid a solid foundation for China Mineral Resources to achieve 60,000 tons/year LCE (lithium carbonate equivalent) lithium concentrate self-sufficiency by the end of 2023，It will further enhance the company's profitability and the integration of the whole industry chain。

        Bikita mine is located in Masungo Province, Zimbabwe, the cumulative exploration (proved + controlled + inferred category) lithium mineral resources in the eastern and western areas of the mine reached 6541.930,000 tons of ore, equivalent to 183.780,000 tons of LCE。There are still a number of unverified LCT pegmatite in the mining area, which has the potential to further expand the reserves of lithium cesium tantalum mineral resources。
