Mines lithium ore in Sichuan, sells lithium concentrate, refines lithium salts and makes lithium-battery production equipment.
Mines lithium ore in Sichuan, sells lithium concentrate, refines lithium salts and makes lithium-battery production equipment.
Earns most from mining spodumene, a lithium ore, at its Sichuan mine and selling the concentrate to lithium-salt producers, so profit swings with the lithium price. A smaller arm refines lithium salts and builds battery-production equipment. It also runs, under contract, a Sichuan lithium-salt plant owned by an affiliate in which it holds a stake.
Moat: narrow (regulatory licence). Holds mining rights to a hard-rock lithium deposit in Sichuan; output is small next to larger lithium miners.
