Yichun is called lithium in Asia because Yichun is the largest lepidolite mine in the world, and the exploitable amount of lithium oxide accounts for 3 1% of China and 12% of the world.

Yichun Tantalum-Niobium Mine, which is only a few tens kilometers away from Yichun City, is not only the largest tantalum mine in China, but also the largest lithium mine in the world. The proven recoverable lithium oxide reserves are 165438+ ten thousand tons, ranking first in the world. Rubidium is 360,000 tons, accounting for 60% of the world. Cesium reserves are 60,000 tons, accounting for 22.5% of the country, ranking first in the country.

At present, Yichun Tantalum-Niobium Mine is undergoing capacity expansion and transformation. After the project is completed, the annual output of lepidolite can reach 6.5438+600,000 tons. The main raw materials for processing and extracting lithium batteries are lithium carbonate 1.5-20,000 tons, accounting for nearly 50% of the country. The global annual production capacity of lithium carbonate is about 90,000 tons, which has laid a solid foundation for the development of new energy industry of lithium batteries.

resource superiority

The lithium battery project invested by well-known domestic enterprises such as Hong Kong Guowei, Shenzhen Foster and Ganfeng Lithium Industry has broken ground in Yichun. World-renowned companies such as LG of South Korea, Sanyo of Japan and General Motors of the United States have also extended olive branches to Yichun. Many domestic and foreign lithium battery industry investors visited Yichun, and they all wanted to get priority in the "virgin land" of Yichun lithium mine.

In order to publicize and promote Yichun lithium battery new energy industry, the national, provincial and municipal lithium battery new energy industry policies and regulations were issued in time, and the "Asian lithium capital network" was established. With the Municipal Lithium Energy Bureau as the competent unit, sponsored by the Asian Lithium Capital Industry Federation and undertaken by Yichun Lithium Source Technology Network Co., Ltd., the successful opening of Jiangxi Lithium Energy Industry Base will accelerate the process of Yichun people's dream of "Asian Lithium Capital".
