After buying a major stake in Mali’s Goulamina lithium mine, Chinese firm Ganfeng has now started production for the project’s first phase.
This article highlights Ganfeng Lithium's successful launch of the first phase of the Goulamina lithium mine in Mali. Despite challenges like security issues, a new strict mining code, and a lithium market surplus, the project represents a significant milestone for both Ganfeng and Mali's economic development.
The key conceptual idea is China's continued investment and influence in Africa's natural resources, specifically lithium, which is crucial for batteries in the global transition to renewable energy. The Goulamina mine is presented as an example of "win-win" cooperation, with both countries benefiting from the project.
