6 Frequently Asked Questions about “China-Africa Low Temperature Lithium Battery Project Address”
Will Africa supply a fifth of the world's lithium in 2030?
Commodity trading giant Trafigura predicts Africa could supply a fifth of the world's lithium in 2030 while Susan Zou, an analyst at Rystad Energy, says the continent “could be a rising star for lithium minerals”. “If you look at the development of mines in Africa, they are quick.”
Does Africa's first Chinese-owned lithium concentrate plant have competition?
But it has competition. Last month, Africa's first Chinese-owned lithium concentrate plant started up trial production at Arcadia, in Zimbabwe. That mine was bought by Huayou Cobalt in 2021 for $422mn, part of a recent billion-dollar wave of Chinese lithium deals in a country where many western investors fear to tread.
Is there a tarred road to a lithium mine in Africa?
Many other African lithium projects are far from ports; Andrada's mine is a rare exception but Uis still lacks a tarred road. Lithium metal from Manono will require a 630km road just to get to the Zambian border, where queues as long as 70 kilometres have held up trucks laden with copper and cobalt.
Could AVZ minerals be Africa's biggest untapped lithium deposit?
At Manono in the DRC, an old tin mining area like Uis that could be Africa's biggest untapped lithium deposit, Australia's AVZ Minerals is locked in a legal battle with China's state-backed Zijin Mining over the ownership structure of the concession. Its shares have been suspended since last May as a result.
Why is Zimbabwe a lithium boom?
Zimbabwe's lithium boom also comes with the unpredictable politics of the Zanu-PF government. In December, the country banned exports of raw lithium ore to stifle informal mining and favour local processing, but the decision could increase project costs.
Will a lithium mine be part of a global race for lithium?
But soon the site of that mine will be part of a global race for lithium, the alkali metal that is a key raw material for automotive batteries. Securing reliable lithium supply is one of the biggest challenges facing carmakers striving to produce more electric vehicles.
