MEXICO CITY/HONG KONG -- Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has moved to ease pressure on China's Ganfeng Lithium over the future of a mine where it hopes to produce the key electric-vehicle battery material.
Asked about the status of Ganfeng's concession on Monday at a news conference at the National Palace, Obrador said, "If they were requested to exploit lithium and [the agreements] are in order, and there is an exploration and production project, they will be respected."
