Zimbabwe Lithium Company (ZLC) is expected to finish its pilot plant and begin lithium concentrates production in Q2 2019 , its CEO Kamativi has said. As demand for lithium is set to rise in the next decade due to its use in electric vehicle batteries, Kamativi is hoping to attract capital to its mining sector. Subject to securing funding to finance its first plant, Zimbabwe Lithium Company aims to start producing 580 kilometres per month in the second half of next year . McTaggart said the legal dispute over rights to the dump had delayed the project but had now been resolved. The announcement follows the resolution of a legal dispute over rights to the Kamativi tailings dump.
