ZIMBABWE is primed to draw significant benefits from one of its lithium assets after an independent market report for the country’s brightest lithium project, Arcadia, certified the mineral as premium price category export.

Australia Stock Exchange-listed Prospect Resources, developer of the Arcadia lithium project near Harare, said it received an independent market report by leading market analysis firm, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.

President Mnangagwa commissioned the lithium project in November last year, which forms part of major economic projects that will drive Zimbabwe’s vision of middle-income status by 2030 and US$12 billion mining industry by 2023.
