Join hands with shengtun & Qingshan to invest 200000 tons of high nickel ternary cathode materials per year and promote the in-depth layout of new lithium battery materials. In 2021, the company joined hands with Qingshan to cut into new energy and planned the construction of high nickel matte project with an annual output of 40000 tons in Indonesia; On April 24, 2022, the company signed a cooperation agreement with shengtun and Qingshan to jointly develop high nickel matte refining, high nickel ternary precursor, high nickel cathode material production and related supporting projects in Wenzhou, and build an annual output of 200000 tons of high nickel ternary cathode material. The plan from high nickel matte to cathode materials has been gradually implemented, reflecting the company’s determination to develop new lithium battery materials in depth.

Net operating cash flow increased by 25.35% to RMB 1.194 billion, which continued to improve.
