On April 20, the Chilean government announced its new lithium strategy, which plans to give control of the country's lithium industry to the state.
(April 21) (AP video/Victor R. Caivano) SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — President Gabriel Boric has announced a plan to require that private companies take Chile's government on as a partner in the extraction of lithium, which is in high demand around the world for use in electric batteries.
A new report by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) and Centro Movilidad Sostenible (CMS) outlines how Chile can move beyond lithium exports to become a regional leader in electric vehicle battery production.
The legal status of lithium is an exception in Chile's mining concession system. Through Law Decree No. 2,886 of 1979, Chilean legislation reserved lithium for the State, rendering lithium reserves non-concessionable. This regulation is also enshrined in Law No. 18,097 of 1982 and the Mining Code of 1983.
Lithium batteries have been proven to meet these requirements. 2 This has made lithium a key element, putting pressure on countries with abundant reserves of the element. In fact, the
