Lithium Business Profits have increased significantly

accelerates upstream resource layout
Although the current lithium resource supply channel can meet the company's lithium salt production needs in 2022, since 2022 Yahua Group is still actively deploying upstream lithium resources.
Yahua Group said that 2022 will be a period of tight supply and demand in the lithium industry in recent years. As the demand for lithium salt products continues to increase, upstream lithium ore resources will be difficult to alleviate in the short term. The supply and demand tension in the lithium industry will inevitably continue for a certain period of time. Before it is effectively alleviated, the price of lithium salt products will also be further raised. To this end, the company will continue to do a good job in expanding lithium salt production capacity and ensuring lithium resources, and continue to maintain its position as an important supplier to the global lithium hydroxide market.
