The public consultation for the environmental impact assessment of the mining project has ended. How much longer will it take for CATL's lithium mine in Jiangxi to resume production?

Recently, the environmental impact assessment (EIA) public announcement for the Jiangxiawo lithium mine mining project by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. has concluded, and it will soon enter the submission and approval stage. After the EIA approval, how long it will take for the project to resume production and what other procedures are still needed remain the focus of market attention. In this regard, reporters interviewed industry professionals and EIA organizations. It was learned that the current progression is the EIA process for the mining project, while the accompanying mineral processing plant and tailings reservoir also need to undergo the EIA modification process due to changes in mineral types, and there is currently no public information available. The aforementioned sources indicated that for the Jiangxiawo lithium mine to achieve a truly comprehensive resumption of production, the EIA modification process for the mineral processing plant and tailings reservoir remains an unavoidable "hard threshold."
