The Yichun Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau withdrew the environmental impact assessment notice for CATL's Jianxiawo lithium mine.
Public controversy triggered this retraction for the third time. The repeated delays create uncertainty for the development timeline of this key lithium source.
CATL will align its next steps with official government approval procedures. Project status fluctuations previously caused significant volatility in lithium carbonate futures.
These setbacks challenge CATL’s efforts to secure its upstream lithium supply chain.
