Hanging over the future of Argentina’s lithium sector is the societal impact of mining the metal. “The expansion of these lithium plants will surely provoke some kind of displacement or conflict,” said Ernesto Picco, an author and researcher at Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero.
Despite possessing the world’s most extensive confirmed lithium resources, Bolivia, the triangle’s third vertex, has so far been incapable of extracting them since the industry was nationalized in 2009—and output reached only 600 tons of LCE last year from a pilot project.
It’s still unclear whether the lithium industry will become part of Latin America’s long history of fraught relationships with an abundance of mineral resources. But it appears that Argentina will have the next chance to write a chapter. __ Quinn is a new energy reporter at International Business Times UK a nd a former editorial assistant at AQ
The project is advancing rapidly and currently ranks as one of the largest lithium pegmatite resources in the Americas, and the 8th largest lithium pegmatite resource in the world. The high-grade deposit has the potential to provide long-term security to PowerCo’s battery cell factories.
Currently, the royalty paid for lithium extraction in the country is 40% of the export price, considered one of the highest in the world.
