The current supply chain of lithium mineral resources in China is mainly based on the mode of "importing overseas resources + domestic processing", with the import dependency of lithium resources reaching as high as 70% to 80%. In China, lithium resources are mainly distributed in provinces such as Sichuan, Qinghai, Tibet, and Jiangxi. Among them, Sichuan's lithium ore resources account for 57% of the national total, ranking first in the country. Sichuan's lithium mines mainly include lithium pegmatite, deep brine type, and clay type. A relevant official from the provincial geological bureau revealed that lithium pegmatite-type lithium resources have characteristics such as large thickness, high grade, easy mining, and high comprehensive value, with proven reserves exceeding 5 million tons, accounting for over 80% of the country's proven lithium pegmatite resources. From a provincial perspective, the Meishan lithium battery industry cluster has 972 large-scale enterprises, the Yibin power battery industry cluster has introduced over 120 projects, and the Suining lithium battery industry has achieved a business income of 59 billion yuan. Chengdu, Deyang, and other places have gathered a large number of related enterprises, and the cluster effect of the lithium battery industry is constantly emerging. "Building an autonomous and controllable, safe and reliable industrial chain and supply chain through industry clusters can promote breakthroughs and upgrades in the industry," industry insiders said.
