Chinese investor to establish lithium sulphate plant in Midlands Province

ZVISHAVANE-based Zheli Mining is set to establish a lithium sulphate plant in the Midlands Province by December 2026 as the company steps up efforts to beneficiate lithium locally, with equipment for the facility already in transit.The development comes as the Chinese miner expands processing operations at its Zvishavane plant, where it has invested about US$15 million since establishing operations in 2024.
