Kodal Minerals v pátek informoval, že v jeho projektu Bougouni Lithium Milu v jižní Mali byl dosažen významný pokrok.
The Bougouni mine is expected to become Mali's second lithium mine in operation within two months, after Ganfeng's Goulamina project achieved its first spodumene production in December. Cordal said the heavy media separation (DMS) processing plant at the Bougouni lithium mine has produced more than 11,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate. Production Operace se postupně zvyšují a v posledním týdnu v březnu pouze rostlina zpracovávala 13 400 tun rudy a produkovala 1 920 tun koncentrátu spodumenu s lithiem oxidovou stupeň 5. 63%.} Pokrok na plnou produkci bylo zpomaleno v procesu přenosu z převáděcího lihutového lihutového lihutu na Boungun -lih. (LMLB). LMLB is 65% controlled by Cordal Mining UK (KMUK), which is a joint venture between Cordal Mining (49%) and China's Hainan Mining Group (51%), with the remaining 35% held by the Malian government. Cordal confirmed that the updates required for the corporate restructuring of LMLB have been approved by the Malian Ministry of Mines and the Ministry of Finance and are now only subject to the final signature of Malian President Asemi Goita. As a result of the above delay, Cordal has applied to the Malian government for an extension of the $7.5 million payment originally set out in the Memorandum of Understanding dated November 1, 2024. The government of Mali has received the request and a formal response is expected shortly. Cordal CEO Bernard Aylward said the company is confident of achieving its target of producing 11,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate per month. He noted: "Our team has accumulated an inventory of spodumene concentrate equivalent to one month's production, which is ready to be shipped and prodáno . Pokračujeme ve vytváření zásob, což nám dává jistotu, že splníme naše produkční cíle. “ Důl Bougouni Lithium se nachází 170 km jižně od Bamako, hlavního města Mali, v oblasti, která již má několik aktivních dolů, včetně zlatého dolu Yanfolila Hummingbird a dolu B2gold a dolu Fekola B2gold.
