The Bikita Minerals Lithium Mine in Zimbabwe has taken a significant leap towards a sustainable and efficient future with the recent inauguration of a 12MW solar PV plant and a 6MWh lithium battery storage system. 


This innovative project, spearheaded by Sinomine Resources Group Co., Ltd., marks a major milestone in the mine's operations and sets a positive precedent for the Zimbabwean mining sector.

Boosting Production Capacity and Embracing Renewables

Sinomine Resources has made a substantial investment in the Bikita mine, exceeding $200 million. This includes the construction of a gravity separation plant and a flotation plant, significantly increasing production capacity for petalite and spodumene concentrate, both crucial elements in lithium-ion batteries.

Ensuring Power Stability and Reducing Environmental Footprint

Recognizing the chronic power shortages in Zimbabwe, Sinomine Resources prioritized a reliable and sustainable power solution for the mine. The integration of the 12MW solar PV plant and the 6MWh lithium battery storage system addresses this challenge head-on.

This innovative combination ensures stable power supply for critical mining operations while simultaneously reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

Record-Breaking Construction and Increased Grid Resilience

The project is a testament to efficient project management. Completed in just ten months, it stands as the fastest-built and highest-quality project of its kind for the Zimbabwe Power Transmission and Transformation Company in the past two decades. This achievement highlights Sinomine Resources' commitment to excellence and sets a new benchmark for future projects.

Furthermore, the project extends beyond the mine itself. The construction of a 132KV power transmission line and a substation not only enhances power security for the Bikita mine but also strengthens the national grid. This improved infrastructure will provide a more reliable power supply for towns along the transmission line, alleviating power shortages for local residents.

A Model for the Future of Mining

The Bikita Minerals Mine project serves as a model for the future of the mining industry in Zimbabwe and beyond. It demonstrates how large-scale solar and battery storage solutions can address power security challenges while promoting environmental sustainability. This public-private partnership between Sinomine Resources and the Zimbabwean government paves the way for further collaboration and innovation in the sector.

Unlocking Zimbabwe's Lithium Potential

Zimbabwe, currently ranked sixth in global lithium production, is experiencing a surge in interest due to the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries. This project signifies the country's commitment to responsible resource extraction and highlights the potential for further value addition within the lithium sector. 

As the industry expands, calls for local processing and manufacturing of lithium products are expected to rise, creating new opportunities for economic growth and technological advancement in Zimbabwe.
