“The ​company is in communication with ​Zimbabwean authorities over a new export application,” Sinomine said, in ​response to investors’ queries ​on a platform affiliated to the ‌Shenzhen ⁠Stock Exchange.

Zimbabwe banned exports of all raw minerals and lithium concentrates in late ​February, ​citing malpractice ⁠and voicing its intention to promote “in-country ​value addition”.

The ban ​has ⁠limited impact on its Bikita mine, Sinomine added.
