A conference unlike any other, with very interesting presentations and panel discussions about highly relevant topics shaping the global lithium market.

Earlier this year ILiA's Anand Sheth, Roland Chavasse and Martin Ma had the pleasure of visiting the #Lithium Science Museum in #Chengdu, China. The museum is the brain child of Tianqi Lithium Corporation and is well worth a visit. It follows the story of lithium from the dawn of time through to the latest inovative applications. During the visit ILiA donated to the museum a sample of petalite from Utö, Sweden, where lithium minerals were first discovered in the 1790s. Our thanks to Mr Frank Ha Chun Shing, President of Tianqi Lithium, together with Guo L. (Frank Lee) and Yuway Szetoo, Eric Zeng | 曾懿 and the team!
