Ganfeng Lithium [SHE:002460] [HK: 1772] (OTC:GNENF) - Price = CNY 128.63
Ganfeng Lithium plan to expand their lithium carbonate equivalent ("LCE") production from 54,312 tpa in 2020 to 200,000 tpa in 2025, or a roughly 4x increase, and then to 600,000 tpa by about 2030 (long term target). Wow!
Ganfeng has been the most active buyer of global lithium assets the past 5 years, so certainly has the assets to be able to meet this incredible expansion plan.
Some of their largest deals included accumulating 50% of the Mt Marion Lithium Project (JV with Mineral Resources), 51% of Lithium Americas [TSX:LAC] (LAC) Cauchari-Olaroz Lithium Project, 100% acquisition of Bacanora Lithium who own the Sonora Lithium Project, 100% acquisition of International Lithium Corp.'s [TSXV:ILC] (ILHMF) Mariana Project, and 35% of Arena Minerals' [TSXV:AN] (OTCPK:AMRZF) Sal de la Puna Project.
Looking ahead to Ganfeng's expansion plans for this decade they are truly incredible and unparalleled.
