The company has the right to mine the largest explored Lithium quarries in Asia, known as Lijiagou Lithium, which is expected to produce 180000 tons of lithium concentrate per year once in operation.
By one estimate Argentina could displace Chile as the second largest lithium producer by 2027. [16] Similarly, there are estimates that posit Argentina producing 16% of the World's lithium by 2030 instead of the 6% it produced in 2021. [16] Low royalty payments when compared to Chile are cited by The Economist as a particular advantage. [16]
