One of the goals of the National Lithium Strategy is to facilitate exploration, extraction and processing projects for lithium deposits outside the Salar de Atacama and those salt flats that have been entrusted to state-owned companies to lead the development of public-private partnerships. In this regard, this announcement is addressed to different Chilean and foreign private-sector stakeholders interested in leading projects that contribute to the development of the lithium industry in Chile, within the saline systems that were part of the request for information (RFI) process carried out by the Mining Ministry between April and June 2024.
Minister Marcel: “This is a moment that allows us to show that we are capable of agreeing on important reforms that aim to generate equity in tax compliance, close gaps, level the playing field and have greater tax justice”.
