Africa has very little capacity for lithium mineral processing, further refining of lithium chemicals, or manufacture of battery components. As a result, lithium mineral concentrate is typically exported from Africa. Value is added outside Africa and products using lithium-ion batteries are then imported.
Also in the East African region, mining exploration company Aterian recently announced plans to start drilling at the HCK lithium project in southern Rwanda by September 2024. Positive results indicate the presence of lithium-bearing minerals at the mining project, and the company is now advancing with preparatory work and the drill planning stage.
Africa has significant natural lithium resources, and many African countries may contribute to meeting increased demand for lithium and supporting economic growth by engaging in the battery supply chain. This report reviews known resources of lithium and engagement in the battery supply chain across key African countries.
Lithium is an essential element for the energy transition, as it’s used in a variety of applications including batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Zimbabwe is home to the world’s largest known deposits of lithium and is estimated to have the highest number of lithium projects under exploration in Africa.
A lithium supply chain refers to the series of steps involved in the production and distribution of lithium, one of the major battery raw materials. This report focuses specifically on lithium for which demand is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. The supply chains for lithium are complex and commonly global in their extent.
Earlier this year, market research firm Benchmark Mineral Intelligence forecast Africa’s lithium production to triple year-on-year in 2024, increasing the continent’s share of global output from 4% to over 10%.
