A review of 43 salt flats in the Central Andes of Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile confirmed the quality and quantity of lithium reserves in the region. The review, conducted by geologist José Cabello, compiled estimates of over 16 million tonnes of contained lithium across Argentina and Chile. The region holds 64 million tonnes of identified lithium resources, according to 2026 estimates from the US Geological Survey.
