Business
Chengxin Lithium Group Co., Ltd. engages in lithium ore mining, production and sales of basic lithium salts and metal lithium products, alongside forestry planting and sales business, primarily serving the new energy lithium battery materials industry. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, with registered operations in Chengdu, the company operates through over 40 wholly-owned subsidiaries across Sichuan and Guangdong provinces in China, as well as Indonesia, Argentina and Zimbabwe; it produces lithium concentrates, industrial-grade and battery-grade lithium carbonate, battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate, lithium chloride and lithium metal, with production capacities including 137,000 tons annually of lithium compounds across facilities in Deyang, Suining in Sichuan Province and Indonesia, plus 500 tons of lithium metal, positioning it among global leaders in overseas ore-to-lithium projects such as its 60,000-ton Indonesian base. The company supplies these products to major clients including BYD, CALB, HITHIUM, LGES, SK On, POSCO, ALB, Hyundai, Hunan Yuneng and Dynanonic, targeting lithium-ion batteries, energy storage, petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals markets. Key mining assets include the Aoyinuo Mine in Sichuan Province producing 75,000 tons annually of lithium concentrate, the Sabistar Lithium Mine in Zimbabwe yielding 290,000 tons annually at 1.98% average ore grade as the region's highest-grade producing mine, the under-development Murong Lithium Mine in Sichuan with 989,600 tons of Li₂O resources at 1.62% grade and 3 million tons per annum design capacity, plus brine projects such as SDLA in Argentina and explorations in Pocitos and Arizaro. Recent developments encompass a planned acquisition of 21% stake in a mining firm for 1.5 billion yuan announced in September 2025 to bolster resource reserves; a 2024 partnership with Hyundai Motor Company enhancing strategic collaborations; extension of a spodumene offtake agreement with Pilbara Minerals in early 2024 supplying up to 70,000 tons for battery materials amid growing international demand; BYD's full subscription of a 23 billion yuan non-public share offering approved in 2022 for liquidity and debt repayment to support expansion; a September 2021 name change from Shenzhen Chengxin Lithium Group Co., Ltd. to Chengxin Lithium Group Co., Ltd.; and recognition as 2025 Chinese Listed Companies Global Expansion Brand of the Year for overseas achievements and ESG practices.
