Moves by China in the critical mineral space continue to make headlines worldwide, mirroring significant investments in lithium projects by China’s state-owned companies across the Americas.

The Northern Miner took a look at the landscape of China’s multi-billion-dollar investments in battery metal projects over the last several years, which range from offtake deals to full ownership.

The East Asian giant’s activity in the lithium space has at times raised eyebrows, such as when the Canadian government in 2022 ordered the owners of four projects to divest their holdings following national security reviews. Sinomine’s Tanco lithium project in Manitoba was not among the operations ordered to divest.
