On November 5, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Hunan Province released a public notice for the acceptance of the ecological environmental impact assessment (EIA) report for the 6,500,000tpy mining and processing expansion project of Xiangyuan Hard-Rock Lithium-containing Polymetallic Mine under Hunan Zijin Lithium Industry Co., Ltd.
Located in Dao County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, the project involves mineral resources including lithium, tin, and tungsten ores, with a planned investment of approximately RMB3.68 billion (USD552 million).
The project plans to expand both its mining and processing capacity from 5,000,000tpy to 6,500,000tpy. Additionally, the mining method will shift from open-pit followed by underground mining to fully open-pit mining, and the mining rights area will be expanded from 2.2341 square kilometers to 3.0457 square kilometers.
