China's Jiada Lithium Mine in Sichuan province has reported an expansion of its lithium deposit by about 70%, registering an additional 1.05 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent. This brings the total resources to 2.53 million tonnes, solidifying China’s position as a key player in global battery production for electric vehicles and energy storage. The increase was confirmed after review by the Ministry of Natural Resources, with Dazhong Mining noting that the deposit now includes 33.52 million tonnes of ore containing approximately 423,800 tonnes of lithium oxide at an average grade of 1.26%.
