Prospect chairperson George Fang said the commissioning of the plant will happen in due course. After that production will commence. Said Fang:
We embarked on this journey last year, on April 20, 2022, when our parent company, Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Company Limited, acquired the PLZ asset and began building one of the world’s most sophisticated plants for the processing of hard rock lithium mineral resources.
At inception, we called on local communities to take up employment opportunities and this prioritisation resulted in hundreds of people being employed from local villages and wards in Goromonzi District, while people with varying skills came from all over the country.
Prospect is owned by Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Company Limited.
Zhejiang Huayou is a new high-tech enterprise founded in 2002 and specializing in research and development, and manufacturing business of new energy Li-ion battery materials and new cobalt materials.
