China has increased its lithium reserves with its recent discoveries. tripled by subtracting chileafter the second country with the largest reserves rose to the position. China, which is by far the largest lithium-ion battery producer, has thus strengthened its hand in raw materials.

Global share increased from 6% to 16.5%

According to Chinese state news agency Xinhua, with the latest discovery, the country’s share of lithium reserves has increased. %6’and %16.5’e rising Australia surpassed Argentina and Bolivia and placed second after Chile.

New deposit discoveries and advanced extraction methods that make it possible to obtain metal from various minerals play a role behind China’s increase in reserves. recently The 2,800 km long spodumene mine in Tibet It has hard rock ores that are an important source of lithium. Initial estimates were that only the spodumene belt More than 6.5 million tons of lithium may contain and potentially to 30 million tons It shows that it can go up to .

Additionally, discoveries made on the Tibetan Plateau are the third largest of their kind. More than 14 million tons of lithium estimated to contain salt lakes revealed. These discoveries indicate that new reserves may be found in geologically similar areas in the neighboring provinces of Qinghai, Sichuan and Xinjiang.

Innovations in extraction technology are playing a vital role in China’s exploitation of its newly discovered lithium reserves. Chinese researchers have discovered a mineral that has previously been difficult to extract due to high costs and technical difficulties. lepidolitin has made significant progress in processing. This breakthrough is also in Jiangxi 10 million tons It is expected to enable the extraction of lithium and the exploitation of more lithium potential in Hunan and Inner Mongolia.

Lithium plays an important role in China’s rapidly expanding auto and renewable energy sector. Providing three quarters of the world’s lithium-ion battery production With these new discoveries, China aims to reduce its dependence on lithium imports.
