Jiangxi Sinomine to halt lithium salt production for maintenance
2026-07-01 14:59:20 [Print]
Due to a temporary scheduling mismatch between the transport cycle of self-produced lithium concentrate and the production schedule of its in-house lithium salt plant, Sinomine Resource Group Co., Ltd. will suspend operations on a maintenance basis starting June 30 for the "30,000tpy high-purity lithium salt" production line at its Jiangxi Sinomine Lithium Industry facility. From July 11, the "35,000tpy high-purity lithium salt" production line will also undergo a temporary maintenance shutdown, with partial low-load operations continuing.
The temporary maintenance shutdown is expected to be fully completed by the end of July, with production resumption to be scheduled promptly based on the arrival of self-produced lithium concentrate at the plant. Sinomine Resource stated that while lithium salt output will decline in the short term, the company does not expect the temporary shutdown to have a material adverse impact on its full-year lithium salt production and sales volumes. In the longer term, given robust downstream demand for lithium salts, the company plans to ramp up production at its lithium salt facility and sell a portion of its lithium concentrate as feedstock upon its arrival, thereby boosting sales volumes (measured in lithium carbonate equivalent) over the remainder of the year.
