Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. has been told how much it should pay for the rights to its key lithium mine in China, another sign of progress in the battery maker’s bid to restart the operation halted since August. The Chinese company is required to pay 247 million yuan ($35 million) for the transfer of mining rights at its Jianxiawo project in Yichun city, according to the website of Jiangxi province’s Department of Natural Resources, which shows a valuation report submitted by a government-appointed asset appraisal company.
