The Chinese mining enterprise Sinomine Resource Group recently relayed that it obtained an additional export quota of 300,000 metric tons for lithium concentrate from Zimbabwe, amid the nation's effort to curtail the exportation of unprocessed lithium.
The company made this known in its half-year report, where it detailed receiving the initial 200 000 tons in April.
This increased quota is being acquired as Zimbabwe initiates its plans to curb the export of lithium concentrates from its borders.
Zimbabwe, which possesses Africa's largest lithium reserves, has in recent months stepped up its efforts to extract more value from its natural resources.
To do this, the Southern African country suspended the export of raw lithium concentrates in February, citing allegations of government malfeasance and leaks.
