🇿🇼 Zimbabwe's Lithium Medal For Consistency 🌐Another success of Zimbabwean localization policy - in early 2026 China's Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt will start producing lithium sulphate from its new $400 million plant on Zimbabwean soil. 🔴As we've mentioned earlier,Zimbabwe is one of the most consistent champions of local resource processing, which consistently forces foreign investors to establish refining and beneficiation facilities within its borders. ‼️Lithium sulphate is neither raw material, nor the end product. It serves as the bridge between lithium concentrate and battery-grade materials like lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate. ⁉️ Having imposed restrictions on raw lithium exports in 2022, Harare went on to ban as well the export of lithium concentrates (in force from 2027). The latter is apparetly the main factor that pushed the Chinese into greater commitment to local production. Repotedly,Zimbabwe's lithium sulphate production from the plant will reach 60,000 tonnes annually. Devils Below
