Cattle rancher Jhona Bell, for one, has concerns.
“Well, it takes out a lot of our range, and it has a huge economic impact for us,“ she said. „Obviously you can’t run cattle where there’s a mine.“
Bell said she’s also concerned about water usage, land reclamation and traffic.
China’s Ganfeng Lithium Co said on Friday it will take control of an Argentina lithium project it has been developing with Lithium Americas Corp, cementing its control over a key source of the white metal for electric vehicle batteries.
Wenn es um knapper werdendes Erdöl oder den für die Produktion von wiederaufladbaren Batterien für Smartphones, Laptops und Elektroautos unverzichtbaren Rohstoff Lithium geht, spielt das internationale Recht keine Rolle mehr. Schon gar nicht, wenn es den wirtschaftlichen Interessen der USA oder der EU im Wege steht.
Die De-facto-Regierung in Bolivien hat angekündigt, ein Abkommen mit dem deutschen Unternehmen ACI Systems zur Industrialisierung von Lithium definitiv zu kündigen.
Chile will delay a previously announced arbitration with Albemarle Corp, the world’s top lithium producer, in anticipation that the U.S.-based miner will make a new offer to bring it into compliance with a 2016 contract, a source close to the negotiations told Reuters.
In celebrating the new contracts, the two companies said they were confident they could significantly boost output without drawing more than their current quotas of lithium-rich brine, or saltwater, that has for millennia accumulated in pools beneath the Atacama. The rivals said each had all the brine they needed for current and future production.
With 3,000 times more lithium than a normal star, it was found in the direction of Ophiuchus, on the north side of the galactic disk, at a distance of 4,500 light years from Earth.
