DR Congo: Junior miner promotes sustainable lithium project


Issue 431 - 28 Jan 2021 | 2 minute read

Australian junior miner AVZ Minerals on 21 January said its $500m-plus green lithium mine project at Manono would be fully supplied by the Piana Mwanga hydroelectric plant – once it has been refurbished – and would aim to achieve a number of other sustainability goals.
