Now it''s emerged that the Czech Republic is in discussions with the German automobile giant. It''s hoping to forge a deal that would tie in with a project by ČEZ to build a lithium battery production factory that would use lithium mined in the Ore mountains in the north. The Czech Minister of Industry Karel Havlíček told Hospodářské noviny ...
Lithium mining could be a real game-changer for Prague, because according to an analysis conducted by the Czech Chamber of Commerce, the country has exhausted all sources of growth and faces potential economic stagnation in the coming years. Can lithium supercharge the Czech economy?
According to current estimates, that's enough ore to produce almost one million lithium-ion car batteries a year. The Czech Republic would ideally like to produce the batteries, too, and is planning a gigafactory for that very purpose.
According to Daniel Beneš, plans to construct the battery “gigafactory” are connected to the large lithium reserves detected in the Czech Republic several years ago. ČEZ will make a decision on whether to build a lithium mining facility next year. If the plan gets the green light, it would mean that the facility could start operating from 2025.
"Lithium is a key raw material for e-mobility, especially for battery storage. This is why we are working on starting extraction as soon as possible, ideally in the year 2026," he said. Cinovec is situated at the heart of a region where ore has been mined since the 13th century and tungsten and tin since the 1940s.
The Czech Republic would ideally like to produce the batteries, too, and is planning a gigafactory for that very purpose. "We can cover the entire chain from extraction, processing, battery production, chip production to the final production of cars," said Fiala.
The Czech Republic has already concluded a Memorandum of Cooperation with the German state of Saxony about possible cooperation on lithium extraction. On the Czech side, extraction will be managed by the majority state-owned electricity producer CEZ.

Geomet, a Czech company that is part of the energy giant ČEZ, is running the deep mining operation, which is expected to start between 2026 and 2028. Lithium is a crucial component in producing electric vehicle batteries. As demand for EVs increases, the World Bank projects a 965% rise in lithium production by 2050.
The extracted lithium could be used to produce batteries for electric cars. Minister Síkela said that negotiations with three investors in a car battery factory were at an advanced stage. One project concerns Pilsen''s Line neighborhood, while another could be in the Ústí nad Labem Region.
