The Bikita pegmatite deposit belonging to the mine is a world famous rare metal deposit of typical LCT (Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum) pegmatite type, belonging to a super-large deposit。It is an important lithium - cesium - tantalum - beryllium production base in Zimbabwe and the world, and one of the three major cesium garnet deposits has been found in the world。The mine is rich in lithium resources, and as of December 31, 2023, the Bikita lithium mine has 11,335 lithium mineral resources.170,000 tons of ore, equivalent to 288.470,000 tons lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE)。In addition to lipolite and spodumene, it also contains lipolite, lipolite, Bikitaite, lipolite and other lithium minerals, as well as tantalum, rubidium, beryllium and other rare metal elements with important economic value。There are several pegmatite rocks in the mineral rights area. With further geological exploration and exploration of the deep edge of the original pegmatite rock mass, the amount of lithium ore resources is expected to further increase。
The mine's new 2 million tons/year spodumene concentrate mineral processing project and 2 million tons/year thorax feldspar concentrate (technical grade and chemical grade thorax feldspar flexible production line) mineral processing renovation and expansion project have been completed and put into operation in July 2023。With the reconstruction and expansion of translitase gravity separation plant and the new spodumene flotation plant completed and put into operation，The production capacity of the mine has been greatly increased，The raw material supply of the company's lithium salt business will be fully guaranteed，Further reflect the company's competitive advantage in lithium new energy raw materials;And will be committed to the recovery and comprehensive utilization of different lithium minerals，Strive to maximize the value。
