The South American landlocked country has a history of unfulfilled lithium dreams. It has tried and failed to develop its industry several times since the 1990s, producing only an accumulated 1,400 tonnes since 2018. In late 2023, Bolivia opened its first industrial-scale lithium plant.
In late 2023, Bolivia opened its first industrial-scale lithium plant. The $100 million facility is expected to produce as much as 15,000 tons of lithium carbonate a year. Initial output won't be battery grade and the plant will reach full capacity in 2025.
The tender, launched earlier this year, aims to develop plants in seven of Bolivia's 28 salt flats, including Uyuni, Coipasa, Pastos Grandes, Capina, Cañapa, Chiguana, and Empexa. CBC submitted a plan to extract lithium from residual brine through the adsorption method.
