Ku ya 8 Mutarama, Ubushakashatsi ku birebana n’ubutaka bw’Ubushinwa muri Minisiteri y’Umutungo Kamere bwatangaje iterambere rikomeye mu bushakashatsi bw’amabuye y’agaciro ya lithium mu Bushinwa. Umutungo mushya wongewemo w’ubwoko bwa spodumene, ubwoko bwa salt lake, n’ubucukuzi bwa lithium mica byose byarenze toni miliyoni 10, kandi igipimo cy’umutungo wa lithium ku isi cyiyongereye kuva kuri 6% kigera kuri 16.5%, kiva ku mwanya wa gatandatu kijya ku wa kabiri ku isi kandi gihindura imiterere y’umutungo wa lithium ku isi.
Lithium, ivugwa nk'umwami w'ibyuma mu gihe kizaza, ifite umwanya ukomeye muri sosiyete ya none. Nk'ikintu cy'ingenzi mu nganda zikiri nshya nko mu modoka nshya zikoresha ingufu, uburyo bwo kubika ingufu, itumanaho rya telefoni zigendanwa, kuvura indwara, na lisansi ikoreshwa n'ibikomoka kuri lisansi, lithium ifitanye isano rya hafi n'ubuzima bw'abantu. Mu gihe kirekire, Ubushinwa bwishingikirizaga ku mutungo wa lithium wo mu mahanga, aho igice kinini cy'ibitumizwa mu mahanga, byazamuye ikiguzi cy'umusaruro ndetse bikanabangamira iterambere ry'inganda zifitanye isano.
Muri ubu buryo bushya bwo gushakisha amabuye y'agaciro, umukandara uherutse kuvumburwa wa West Kunlun Songpan Ganzi ufite uburebure bwa kilometero 2800, ukaba ari umukandara ugezweho wo gushakisha amabuye y'agaciro wa spodumene. Kuvumbura aka gace k'amabuye y'agaciro byakungahaje cyane ubwoko n'uburyo amabuye y'agaciro ya lithium akwirakwizwa mu Bushinwa, bituma habaho imurikagurisha ry'amabuye y'agaciro ya lithium muri Xinjiang, Sichuan, Qinghai n'ahandi, kandi bitanga icyerekezo gishya cyo gushakisha no guteza imbere amabuye y'agaciro ya lithium mu Bushinwa.
Dukurikije imibare y’ibanze, agace gafite amabuye y’agaciro kakusanyije toni zisaga miliyoni 6.5 z’amabuye y’agaciro ya lithium, hamwe n’ubushobozi bw’umutungo wa toni zisaga miliyoni 30, ibi bikaba byitezwe ko bizarushaho kongera ububiko bw’amabuye y’agaciro ya lithium mu Bushinwa.
Uretse ibirombe bya lithium byo mu bwoko bwa spodumene, Ubushinwa bwateye intambwe ikomeye mu iterambere ry’umutungo wa lithium mu biyaga by’umunyu. Nyuma y’iperereza n’isuzuma, umutungo wa lithium wongewemo mu biyaga by’umunyu mu Bushinwa wageze kuri toni zisaga miliyoni 14, bikaba ari byo byatumye uba umutungo wa lithium wa gatatu mu biyaga by’umunyu ku isi nyuma ya Lithium Triangle yo muri Amerika y’Epfo n’iburengerazuba bwa Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika. Umutungo wa lithium wo mu Kiyaga cy’umunyu ufite ikiguzi gito cyo guteza imbere, umwanda muto, kandi ufite amahirwe menshi yo guteza imbere.
Byongeye kandi, Ubushinwa bwagize iterambere rikomeye mu ikoranabuhanga ryo gukuramo lithium muri lithium mica. Bwakemuye ikibazo cy’ingano ya lithium irimo litium nyinshi ariko ikoreshwa ryayo rigoye ndetse n’igiciro cya lithium mica kiri hejuru, bunoza ikoreshwa ryayo n’ubukungu, kandi bufungura ahantu hashya ho gushakisha amabuye ya lithium yo mu bwoko bwa lithium mica. Dukurikije imibare, umutungo wa lithium mica wo mu bwoko bwa lithium mica wongeyeho muri Jiangxi no mu tundi turere warengeje toni miliyoni 10. Iri terambere rizafasha mu ishyirwaho ry’ubucukuzi bushya bw’amabuye y’agaciro muri Hunan, muri Mongoliya y’imbere no mu tundi turere, ribe ahantu heza ho gukura umutungo wa lithium.
Iterambere rikomeye mu gushakisha amabuye ya lithium kuri iyi nshuro ryatewe no gushyira mu bikorwa byimbitse ibikorwa bishya by’ingamba zo gushakisha amabuye y’agaciro. Ikigo gishinzwe ubushakashatsi ku birebana n’ubutaka mu Bushinwa, hamwe n’amashami ashinzwe ubushakashatsi ku birebana n’ubutaka n’ibigo by’ubucukuzi bw’amabuye y’agaciro mu ntara zitandukanye (uturere), cyatangije ubukangurambaga bugamije gushakisha amabuye ya lithium mu gihugu hose, kandi cyageze ku ntambwe zikomeye muri Sichuan, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Jiangxi, Mongol y’imbere n’ahandi.
Iterambere rikomeye mu bucukuzi bwa lithiamu kuri iyi nshuro rizagabanya kugabanuka k’umutungo wa lithiamu mu Bushinwa, riteze imbere iterambere ryihuse ry’inganda nshya z’ingufu mu Bushinwa, kandi rinateze imbere iterambere ryiza ry’isoko ry’umutungo wa lithiamu ku isi, rizamure umwanya n’ingaruka by’Ubushinwa ku isoko ry’umutungo wa lithiamu ku isi.
