The federal government pledged in 2025 to support Rio Tinto with up to €4.9 million for the planned lithium project in the Jadar Valley. The funds were to be used, among other things, for an image campaign, capacity building in Serbian ministries and support in contract negotiations with the Serbian government. There have been widespread protests in Serbia for years against the project over environmental and corruption concerns. The project is currently halted by Rio Tinto and the pledged funds have not yet been drawn. » Más en n-tv.de

Rio Tinto calls lithium the group's most dynamic growth area and plans organic growth rather than further acquisitions. The company aims to produce at least 61,000 tonnes in 2024 and to expand annual capacity to up to 200,000 tonnes by 2028. Rio Tinto strengthened its position through acquisitions of Arcadium and Nemaska Lithium and cooperates with partners like CATL, but does not seek to become the global number one. » Más en deraktionaer.de
