Operator of Tibet's Zabuye salt-lake lithium brine deposit, also selling boron and other salt-lake minerals.
Produces lithium carbonate by evaporating brine from the high-altitude Zabuye salt lake, then sells it to battery-material makers, so income tracks the lithium price. Boron and potassium products come from the same brine.
In one line: A small US salt-lake lithium producer like early-stage Standard Lithium.
Moat: narrow (scale, regulatory licence). Holds exclusive rights to develop the high-altitude Zabuye brine, one of China's richest lithium salt lakes.
