2、We formed a strategic partnership with IGO to grow a leading global lithium business.

ii. Smoothly Progressing the Train I of Kwinana

The commissioning of the Train I of Kwinana LiOH Plant is progressing smoothly. The whole process has been completed, and we will strive to produce qualified lithium hydroxide by the end of 2021, and enter the capacity ramp-up phase, reaching the designed capacity in the fourth quarter of 2022.

III. Steady Production and Operation

i. Leading Global Resources and Processing Layout

1、Controlled the Best-Quality Hard Rock Spodumene Ore

（1）Greenbushes Mine

· The world's largest lithium mineral producer in terms of LCE deposits.

· Lithium Concentrate Production Capacity

  - The current annual production capacity is 1.34 million tons, including 1.2 million tons of chemical-grade lithium concentrate and 0.14 million tons of technical-grade lithium concentrate.

  - The medium-term planned annual production capacity is 1.94 million tons, of which the third phase of Talison's 0.6 million tons of chemical-grade lithium concentrate expansion project is expected to be completed in 2024.

· 1H 2021 total revenue 1,102 million yuan, net profit 297 million yuan.

（2）Yajiang Cuola Mine

· Western section of Asia's super large-scale Jiajika spodumene mining area.

· Medium and long-term resource reserves of Tianqi.

2、Strategically Invested in High-Quality Brine-Based Lithium Resources

（1）SQM

· It operates Salar de Atacama with high lithium concentration, large reserves and mature mining conditions all over the world.

· SQM's Lithium Compounds Capacity Expansion Plan

  - SQM is producing lithium carbonate in Salar de Atacama at a rate of approximately 110,000 metric tons per year. It expects to produce approximately 140,000 metric tons in 2022.

  - Its sales volume of lithium and derivatives in the first half of 2021 is about 48,100 metric tons. SQM said that it could reach over 95,000 metric tons in 2021.

  - The development of 50,000 metric ton lithium hydroxide plant in Australia is on track to be operating in 2024.

（2）The Zhabuye Salt Lake

· One of the world's top 3 megaton-class lithium salt lakes, with lithium grade ranking second among salt lakes in the world.

· It is a lithium-rich carbonate salt lake with extremely low magnesium-lithium ratio and excellent resource endowment.

· On August 27, Tibet Mineral Development Co., Ltd. announced that it plans to implement a battery-grade lithium carbonate project for Zhabuye. The plan includes an annual output of 12,000 tons of lithium carbonate, and strives to be completed and put into operation in 2023.

（3）Salares 7 Project

· Lithium and potassium exploration projects, including 7 salt lakes in the Atacama region of northern Chile.

· The project includes 188 mining rights with an area of 50,319 hectares and 250 exploration rights with an area of 69,800 hectares.

With the development of the lithium battery and energy storage battery industries, the importance of lithium resources will become more prominent, and the bargaining power of companies with lithium resources and their positions in the industrial chain will continue to improve.
