Chile owns 48% of the world's reserves of this metal and has the Atacama Salar, one of the areas with greater power and competitiveness at the global level of lithium’s extraction
Chile invests US $2 billion in lithium projects which will allow the country to triple its production by the year 2022
Bolivia has the largest deposits of the three countries of the lithium triangle, which are in the Salar de Uyuni area. Bolivia’s untapped lithium reserves make up to half of the world’s total lithium supply. The new Plurinational State promotes the national plan for the industrialization of lithium
