China’s lithium reserves surge, becoming the world’s second-largest holder

Credited from: SCMP

  • China's lithium reserves have dramatically increased, making it the second-largest holder globally, with a share of 16.5% of total reserves.
  • The rise is attributed to the discovery of new deposits and advancements in extraction techniques, moving past Australia, Argentina, and Bolivia.
  • Newly identified resources include a 2,800 km belt of spodumene in Tibet, estimated to hold between 6.5 to 30 million tonnes of lithium.
  • China aims to reduce its dependence on foreign lithium imports, which has hindered the growth of related industries and increased production costs.
  • Emerging industries utilizing lithium include energy storage, communications, and medical treatments, potentially stabilizing the global lithium market.
