In the Manono lithium project in the Democratic Republic of Congo, AVZ Minerals has been implicated in allegations of corruption and opaque dealings over mining rights. Communities near the site reportedly saw little benefit, despite the project potentially generating around $28 million for shell companies through undervalued rights sales.
Involved in the Manono deposit in the DRC, Zijin Mining has faced allegations of participating in questionable dealings with the state-owned entity Cominière. These claims suggest corruption and competition-driven delays that have stalled development and deprived local communities of economic benefits.
At the Sandawana mine in Zimbabwe, lithium discoveries led to renewed activity under the Zimbabwe Miners Federation. Allegations claim political elites captured control of the resource at the expense of artisanal miners, who were forced to join the federation and accept lower prices for their ore.
