Bikita Minerals Pvt Ltd (main sponsor) is just as committed to Bikita Minerals fc as he was on the first day, as he has recently shown with actions such as the site approvals and designs of the new Lithium stadium. This is an important project for the club and the province, of which all Lithium Boys fans will be able to feel proud.
