The Bougouni lithium mine will soon start with production of 1.94 million tonnes of lithium concentrate over a minimum life of 8.5 years. This is what the feasibility study published on Monday by Kodal Minerals reports for this project it is developing in Mali. Investment amount: $ 117 million. The start-up is planned for the second half of 2021.
The Minister of Mines and Petroleum, Lelenta Hawa Baba Bah, expressed his optimism regarding this project in an interview broadcast by Malian television (ORTM). Mali should eventually be able to manufacture lithium batteries using 3D printers.
It should be noted that Kodal Minerals has applied to the Malian authorities for a mining license. Pending receipt of this license, which, subject to funding, will allow construction to begin, the company plans to continue exploration activities to increase the resources of the project.
