Good news! China's lithium reserves jumped to the second in the world

Great lithium! The Ministry of Natural Resources China Geological Survey announced on the 8th, that China's lithium mine search has had a series of breakthroughs. Lithium reserves have increased from 6% of the global share to 16.5%, from the world's sixth to the second, reshaping the global lithium resource pattern.

Lithium, known as the future 'King of Metals, 'plays a significant role in modern society. From new energy vehicles, energy storage systems, mobile communications to emerging industries such as disease treatment and nuclear reactor fuel, lithium is a key element and is closely related to people's lives.

For a long time, China has been highly dependent on foreign lithium resources, and imports have accounted for a large proportion of the increase in production costs, which has restricted the development of related industries.

The newly discovered world-class spodumene-lithium metallogenic belt in West Kunlun-Songpan-Ganzi, with a length of 2,800 kilometers, has enriched the lithium resources and distribution range in China, formed a new development and utilization direction, and the lithium reserves are expected to be further increased.

In addition to spodumene lithium ore, great progress has been made in the development of lithium resources in salt lakes. Salt lake lithium resources development cost is low, pollution is small, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau salt lake lithium resources increased significantly, China has become the third largest salt lake lithium resource base after the South American lithium triangle, the western United States.

China has also overcome the lithium mica lithium extraction technical problems, to solve the lithium mica lithium content is high but extraction is complex, with high-cost problems, improving the utilization rate, and the economy, to open up the lithium mica lithium mine looking for a new situation. Open a new 'Lithium "milestone. This breakthrough will effectively alleviate the shortage of lithium resources in China and promote the healthy development of the global lithium resources market.
