There have been recent developments concerning the resumption of production at the Jianxiawo Mine, which is owned by Ningde Times. On August 26th, the Yichun Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau announced that during the proposed acceptance and publicity phase for the environmental impact report of the lithium mining project at Zhenkouli, Yifeng County, Jiangxi Province—specifically the Jianxiawo Mine in Fengxin County, operated by Yichun Times New Energy Mining Co., Ltd.—the acceptance and publicity proceedings have been abruptly withdrawn. This withdrawal comes in response to public questions (a term retained here to reflect the formal and bureaucratic context, implying public concerns or doubts) regarding the website utilized by the construction unit for its initial publicity efforts. The project will undergo a fresh round of public announcement once it is confirmed to meet all necessary requirements.

The Jianxiawo lithium mine stands as the world's largest verified lithium mica mine, boasting a designed annual production capacity of approximately 100,000 tons of lithium carbonate at full capacity. Prior to its suspension, it contributed roughly 8%-10% to the nation's total lithium output. The mine ceased operations following the expiration of its mining license on August 9, 2025, and the timeline for its resumption has since become a matter of significant interest and speculation.
