Our lithium production plant designed to extract and produce 24,000 t of battery-grade lithium carbonate per year at full capacity, is located in the Centenario Ratones Salar, in the department of Los Andes, province of Salta, Argentina. At more than 3,800 meters above sea level, this region is known as the “Puna”, with an arid climate, strong winds and low temperatures that can drop below -25ºC.  Commissioned in July 2024, the plant delivered its first production run at the end of 2024.
