CHANGSHA, July 8 (Xinhua) — China, which is among the countries with the largest lithium reserves in the world, has discovered a super-large lithium ore deposit with reserves of 490 million tons in central China's Hunan Province, the provincial department of natural resources said Tuesday.
The deposit, discovered in the Jijiaoshan mining area of Linwu County, was classified as an altered granite lithium deposit containing about 1.31 million tons of lithium oxide, according to the department.
It also contains other mineral elements such as rubidium, tungsten and tin.
According to the Hunan Provincial Mineralogical Survey Institute, which carried out the exploration, given the complex geological conditions, the discovery of the deposit was made possible by advances in exploration technology and many years of exploration work.
Xu Yiming, a professor at the institute, said the discovery of the lithium deposit provides a solid resource foundation for the construction of a new energy base in Chenzhou City, Hunan Province.
Lithium is an extremely important element with a wide range of applications, including in electric vehicles, energy storage systems and mobile communication systems.
According to the Geological Survey Office of the Ministry of Natural Resources of China, released in January, the share of confirmed lithium reserves in China reached 16.5 percent of the world's total, which put the country in second place in the world in this indicator. –0–
