What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Eramet has utilized direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology in Argentina since late 2024 at its Centenario Ratones project in Salta. Separately, Rio Tinto inaugurated two new lithium plants in Catamarca province, Argentina, with a $US1.4 billion price tag. These facilities, Sal de Vida and Fenix 1B, will add 25,000 metric tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent annually.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The expansion of DLE technology in Argentina is a key step in building a large-scale lithium business in the region. Rio Tinto aims to increase overall output in Argentina to 200,000 metric tons annually by 2028. This growth validates investment in the Lithium Triangle, which includes Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile.
