"The 36 projects we presented at the PDAC do not include lithium (...) Within the first half of the year we are going to deliver information to the market regarding lithium projects," said Minister Williams, as reported by Diario Financiero.
36 PROJECTS PRESENTED, NONE LITHIUM.

In this regard, the head of the Mining portfolio explained that lithium has a different legal regime, while during the first quarter the strategic salt flats will be defined – which can be exploited and the protected ones – limited to investment – along with how private investors will enter.

At the same time, he announced that "there are five requests for Special Operating Contracts (Ceol) for lithium, of which one is from Enami and another from Codelco, which has asked for change with the incorporation of Salar Blanco (LPI) in its project and we have three more private companies that have requested Ceol," as DF expresses

Regarding lithium projects, the state-owned company points out that "we are in another stage, which is what is in the Andean salt flats (Alto Andino project, which groups the salt flats of La Isla, Aguilar, Las Parinas, Infieles and Grande).

"We are going to carry a lithium business card so that every time someone wants more information, they can communicate directly with the entire lithium team," said María Cristina Vallejos, Enami's Development and Projects manager, as quoted by Diario Financiero.

The Chilean delegation brought a portfolio of 36 mining projects to Canada to the new version of the PDAC fair. Of these 18 are copper, 15 are linked to Enami, but none are focused on lithium
