```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on May 28 that the Zimbabwean government recently released the "Mineral Classification and Declaration," officially designating 14 minerals including lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite as "critical minerals" subject to equity and export controls. The declaration establishes the principle that the state will exercise a mandatory minimum shareholding ratio through designated special purpose vehicles (SPVs). This move is seen as emulating Indonesia’s nickel industry roadmap, aiming to control the global supply chain of critical minerals by prohibiting the export of raw ores, mandating foreign investors to build smelting plants, and requiring the state to acquire equity. Although the declaration is still a framework agreement and details such as the specific shareholding ratio are yet to be released, it has already attracted significant attention among Chinese lithium companies operating in Zimbabwe. Some companies revealed that there are already projects in which the Zimbabwean government holds a stake, with the actual ratio reaching 15%. The new policy mainly targets new mining rights applications, while existing mines are temporarily unaffected.```
