On November 14, Kamativi Mining Company, a subsidiary of the China's Yahua Group, commenced the phase two production at Kamativi lithium mine in Zimbabwe, the first large lithium ore mining and processing project launched by Yahua Group in Africa.
The mineral exploration and beneficiation test study for Kamativi project began in September 2022, and the first phase of the project reached full and steady production in April 2024.
When fully operational, Kamativi project will be able to process 2.3 million tonnes per annum of lithium ore and produce 350,000 tonnes lithium concentrate annually. Meanwhile, Yahua Group would further expand mining and dressing capacity, aiming to process 3.3Mtpa of lithium ore and produce 500,000 tonnes of concentrate by 2025, when the Chinese lithium producer would have a 60% lithium concentrate self-sufficiency rate.
