France to exploit lithium mine in Massif Central

STORY: France to exploit lithium mine in Massif Central DATELINE: Oct. 25, 2022 LENGTH: 0:01:33 LOCATION: BEAUVOIR, France CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of the future lithium mine in Massif Central, France 2. various of visitors at the lithium mine project 3. various of drilling rig STORYLINE: France's Imerys mining group announced on Monday the upcoming exploitation of a lithium deposit discovered in the Allier department in Massif Central, which will produce 34,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide per year, or the equivalent of 700,000 electric car batteries each year. The discovered mine would have a lifespan of approximately 25 years. The company plans to start operating at the beginning of 2028. "This project, which is exemplary from an environmental and climatic point of view, will drastically reduce our lithium import," announced Economy and Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire on Monday.
