Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
The EU is due to unveil its Critical Raw Materials Act on March 8 to secure the bloc's supply of critical raw materials including lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese and graphite needed for electric vehicles.
Today, the government approved a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Volkswagen on the construction of a gigafactory for batteries for electric cars in Líny near Pilsen. The memorandum is supposed to set the basic parameters of future cooperation, but it does not indicate in any way how the company will ultimately decide when choosing a location. This was stated by Prime Minister Petr Fiala (CTK) at the press conference after the government meeting
CEZ is striving to obtain European funding for the Lithium Valley project worth CZK 11.1 billion and CZK 1.2 billion for the gigafactory.

Local experts certainly know this smaller project as well, it's good to watch, nothing prevents them from following ...

On Wednesday, April 13, in the Municipal meeting room
Dubí held a working meeting of representatives with representatives
of companies Geomet s.r.o., CEZ a.s. and Severoceské doly a.s.
and the subject of our meeting was mining information
lithia on Cínovec, which I and I want to give you in this form.
Representatives of the company informed in detail about the state of preparation
planned lithium mining in the Cínovce locality. Currently
work is already underway on changes to the Territorial Development Principles
Ústí nad Labem region, which is basically a territorial plan of the region. It's still running
work to assess the impact of the whole project on the environment
so-called EIA and work on a feasibility study, where they will be assessed
all economic aspects of the project. This will be done by
end of this year. Exploratory is being completed at the same time
work. That is, at the end of this year will be completely
clear whether the whole project will be feasible, but given
to the fact that this project has gained the priority of the European Union, so
I am convinced that it will take place. Definitive arrangement of mining,
transport and processing of the ore should be as follows. Extraction
will be in the Sedmihurky locality, transport mined and modified
ore will be realized by a so-called ropeway to the processing plant
company in the locality of Dukla in Újezdecko. The route is located from
Seven times between Mstišov and Koštany to Újezdecek. Z Dubí,
Mstišova and also from Koštany should neither be seen nor heard,
because its noise does not exceed 42 dB. That's the volume
human speech and will also run for a maximum of 8 hours a day.
The transport device is a passport that travels on ropes similarly
like a cable car, it is capacity and quiet. I would compare it from a distance
visually to the high voltage line, only the support poles
they are further apart. They can be in the range of 500 m to 1000 m
thus ensuring minimal interference with nature. Transport to
processing plant will be provided by rail from Lesní
gates and according to the railway, the construction of a new road is planned
connecting road No. 8 with the locality of Dukla. It will take place during mining
all ore processing underground, so it will be secured at Cínovec
complete calm. So far, the whole project is developing well, and if
the project will be implemented, so it will bring our city
benefit and prosperity. All the detailed information that
They have been passed on to us, they will be published on a special website
website and also on the website of our city.
According to the governor, the region will insist on changing the amount of compensation for the extracted mineral in the case of lithium. Other representatives also appealed for this. "We have always said that if lithium is mined, it must not have a significant impact on the environment or people. If mining is to take place here, it must have a significant benefit for the region. We therefore want to change the fee for the extracted mineral, "said Regional Councilor Michal Kucera (Allies for the Region), who is also a Member of Parliament (TOP 09).
