(Image: Mariano Garcia / Alamy) Argentina will start operations at the first lithium battery cell factory in Latin America before the end of the year. The country aims to boost its position in the region’s electric transport and energy storage markets, and go beyond simply producing the lithium that is critical to their growth.
Currently, the country has more than 60 projects between production and development, with more and more attention being drawn to the country in terms of mining. Ten years from now, Argentina will see its lithium production increase five-fold, while Chile won’t be able to double it.
A prime example of Argentina's lithium potential is Galan Lithium's (ASX:GLN) Hombre Muerto West (HMW) project. Located in the heart of Argentina's lithium-rich Salar del Hombre Muerto, this project exemplifies the high-grade, low-impurity brine that makes Argentine lithium so valuable. Key features of the HMW project include:
This geological marvel, spanning Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, holds over half of the world's known lithium reserves, with Argentina poised to become a linchpin in the global lithium supply chain.
