Promoting the energy transition in a sustainable way

In Eramine, we produce lithium carbonate, one of the key minerals for the energy transition. Our work combines innovation, safety, and sustainability, in a comprehensive strategy that meets the highest standards of responsible mining.

We are currently working to get the IRMA certification (Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance), which is the most exhaustive and rigorous definition of best mining practices at industrial scale, with more strict requirements than those of any country.
