China’s Lithium Prospecting Breakthroughs and Dasen Mining’s Solutions

In recent times, China has made remarkable progress in lithium prospecting. In regions like Sichuan, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Jiangxi, and Inner Mongolia, a series of breakthroughs have been achieved. New resources of spodumene, salt-lake, and lithium-mica types have all surpassed 10 million tons. This has significantly increased China’s share of global lithium reserves from 6% to 16.5%, and its global ranking has leaped from sixth to second.

Notably, the newly discovered 2,800-kilometer-long world-class spodumene-type lithium mineralization belt in West Kunlun – Songpan – Ganzi is a game-changer. With over 6.5 million tons proven and a resource potential of more than 30 million tons, it has not only enriched the types of lithium mines in China but also broadened the scope of mineral exploration.

For global miners, this is an exciting development. If you’re interested in spodumene mining, Dasen Mining is here to assist. With over 30 years of experience in gold, copper, lead, zinc, and spodumene beneficiation, we have the expertise you need. For spodumene, we mainly employ hand selection, gravity selection, and flotation methods. Flotation is a common approach to increase spodumene content. For instance, starting with an original ore content of 1 – 2%, we can boost it to 5 – 6% through flotation. However, the flotation process of spodumene is complex and needs to be customized according to the specific ore composition.

The simple process line of spodumene flotation is as follows:

Despite the current slowdown in the spodumene market, terminal mining areas can still generate profits from producing and processing spodumene concentrate. We recommend that customers send around 50 kg of samples. We will conduct mineral processing experiments, with a particular focus on spodumene flotation. These experiments will determine if the samples are suitable for flotation, what the optimal grinding fineness should be to achieve the highest recovery rate, and what the actual recovery rate will be.

Moreover, Dasen Mining offers comprehensive services, including mining area exploration, site selection and positioning, overall processing plant design, installation and commissioning, and training. We are dedicated to helping you thrive in the spodumene mining business, especially in the crucial area of lithium flotation.
