Rio Tinto hails another step closer to develop Serbian lithium mine
If developed, the $2.4 billion Jadar lithium project in Western Serbia could cover 90% of Europe's current lithium needs.
Indian iron ore miner NMDC Ltd said on Friday it is looking at lithium assets in Africa and Australia, according to a statement.
The company also said that it has so far not applied for lithium blocks on a nomination basis from the Indian government.
In June last year, Reuters reported that NMDC’s unit Legacy Iron Ore had signed a lithium exploration pact with Australia’s Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd.
NMDC shares were down 1.7% on Friday.
