LOHUM has already dispatched its first shipment of lithium ore, becoming the first Indian company to produce lithium from overseas assets. The company estimates the initial blocks can support around 300,000 tonnes of LOHUM lithium carbonate equivalent over the life of the assets, with an in-situ value of about 7 billion dollars at prevailing prices.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>India&#8217;s push to reduce its near-total dependence on imported lithium-ion batteries has taken a step forward with LOHUM&#8217;s first overseas mining operation in Zimbabwe, aimed squarely at scaling up LOHUM lithium carbonate output.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what LOHUM&#8217;s Zimbabwe lithium carbonate ambitions look like, and how the company plans to scale LOHUM lithium carbonate production.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong>Click Here &#8211;
