Lithium ubutare bushakishwa cyane ku isi bwabonetse i Rwamagana

Iri buye ryabonetse mu bushakashatsi bwakorewe muri aka gace ka Ntunga gasanzwe gacukurwamo amabuye y’agaciro na Sosiyete yitwa Piran Rwanda, yibumbiye muri Trinity Metals Group Rwanda isanzwe ihuriza hamwe Rutongo Mines na Eurotrade International Ltd zicukura mu Karere ka Rulindo na Piran Rwanda ikorera i Rwamagana.

Lithium ni amabuye yatangiye kuboneka mu Rwanda mu myaka ya 2020, ari nabwo agaciro kayo ku isoko mpuzamahanga katangiye gutumbagira dore ko igiciro cya toni imwe y’ayo mabuye cyavuye ku 44.090$ cyariho mu 2022 kikagera ku 61.520$ muri uyu mwaka wa 2023.

Ubu bwoko bw’amabuye y’agaciro yifashishwa ku kigero cya 80% mu gukora batiri zifashishwa mu modoka z’amashanyarazi, bwabonetse mu Rwanda mu turere twa Ngororero n’ahandi hagiye hacukurwa amabuye y’agaciro nk’uko RMB yaguye ibitangaza.

Umuyobozi Mukuru wa Piran Rwandan ikorera mu Karere ka Rwamagana, Imena Evode, yavuze ko ibuye rya Lithium baribonye mu gace bacukuramo amabuye y’agaciro ka Ntunga gusa ko batari batangira kuricukura.

Ati “ Ryabonetse turi gukora ubushakashatsi, turibona rero hasi cyane kuko hejuru iyo ducukuye tubona gasegereti, tukabona na coltan. Rero mu gukora ubushakashatsi lithium twaribonye muri metero nka 300 uvuye hejuru, ubu rero mu Ugushyingo turashaka kongera gukora ubushakashatsi tugeze nko muri metero 600 turebe ko rikiriyo, turebe ubwinshi n’ubwiza rifite.”

Yakomeje agira ati “ Ibizava muri ubwo bushakashatsi bizatwereka niba twatangira kuyicukura, ariko dufite icyizere ko hariyo amabuye menshi kandi meza.”

Umuyobozi Mukuru w’Ikigo gishinzwe Peteroli, Mine na Gaz ( RMB), Amb. Yamina Karitanyi, aherutse gutangaza ko u Rwanda mu minsi ya vuba ruri kwitegura gutangiza uruganda rutunganya Lithium.

Mu gihe rwaba rubashije kwitunganyiriza aya mabuye y’agaciro, igiciro cyayo cyakwiyongera kuko ariyo aba ikenewe ku isoko mpuzamahanga.

Kugeza ubu Piran Rwanda icukura amabuye y’agaciro mu Karere ka Rwamagana mu bice bya Musha na Ntunga, isanzwe icukura amabuye ya Gasegereti, Coltan n’ibuye rya Lithium ritari ryatangira gucukurwa.

Biteganyijwe ko mu 2030 ku Isi hazaba hagurishwa miliyoni 200 z’imodoka zikoresha amashanyarazi, abashaka Lithium bazakomeza kwiyongera ari nako ibihugu biyifite mu butaka bizasaruramo agatubutse.
