December marked a major milestone for us as we welcomed, for the first time, analysts and bankers to our Lithium Carbonate Production Plant located in the Puna region of Salta. The visit provided an opportunity to present the industrial plant we built and now operate in the province of Salta, as well as to share the project’s key progress and achievements.

During the tour, we showcased in detail the Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology used at Eramine—an innovative solution that positions us as a benchmark within the Eramet Group and the lithium industry, while making a strategic contribution to the energy transition.

The visit also served to highlight the comprehensive work behind the Centenario project: years of exploration, technological development, sustained engagement with local communities, and the challenge of building and operating an industrial plant at more than 4,000 meters above sea level.

In the midst of the ramp-up phase, we continue to strengthen our operations in Argentina, supported by the coordinated efforts of our team and a technological proposal that sets a benchmark within the lithium industry.
