China lithium resource discovery and expansion

Overview

China has reported significant developments regarding its lithium resource base. In Sichuan province, the Jiada lithium deposit saw its registered resources increase by approximately 70 percent, reaching a total of 2.53 million tons of lithium carbonate equivalent. The project, managed by Dazhong Mining, is currently awaiting final permits for exploitation.

Additionally, geological studies have identified potential clay-type lithium deposits along China’s southeastern coast. These mineral-rich volcanic rock zones cover approximately 150,000 square kilometers and overlap with major lithium battery manufacturing hubs. Researchers have designated the Shirenbei Basin in Guangdong Province as a priority area for initial surveys, followed by the Shouchang Basin in Zhejiang Province.
