8月11日早间，全球动力电池龙头宁德时代一则通告，引爆了沉寂多时的锂电市场。其位于江西宜春的枧下窝锂矿 区因采矿许可证到期暂停开采。这场看似"程序性"的停产事件，有望成为中国新能源产业告别野蛮生长、走向高 质量发展的关键转折。 今年7月，宜春市自然资源局要求8家涉锂矿山企业须在9月底前完成储量核实报告编制，宁德时代旗下宜春时代新 能源矿业有限公司在8家涉锂矿山企业之列。同时，藏格矿业旗下察尔汗盐湖一期1万吨/年的锂盐厂被当地政府要 求停产整顿。该公司需要重新提交锂开采准证的申请，并在采矿许可证全面合规后，方可申请复产。 锂矿开采审查监管升级的背后，是我国7月1日起正式实施的新版《矿产资源法》。新版法规进一步明确了所有战 略性矿产资源要按照国家有关规定实行保护性开采。自然资源部负责保护性开采的特定矿种开采的登记、审批， 地方政府仅可在获得授权的前提下进行勘查、开采的登记、审批。可以看出，监管政策的收紧，本质上是防止内 卷式恶性竞争，强化市场优胜劣汰机制，畅通落后低效产能退出渠道。 枧下窝矿所在的宜春，以及察尔汗盐湖所在的青海，是我国云母提锂和盐湖提锂的重要产区，在国内锂盐行业占 据重要的地位。其中，被誉为"亚洲 ...
