CATL Jianxiawo Lithium Mine Environmental Review Acceptance Notice Revoked; Copper Hits Record
The Yichun municipal ecology and environment bureau withdrew the proposed acceptance notice for the environmental impact report of the Jianxiawo lithium mining project in Jiangxi during the public comment period, citing public concerns over the disclosure website used for prior information. The mine has been fully suspended since its mining license expired on Aug 9, 2025, and analysts warn unclear resumption timing could fuel lithium price volatility.
