In the presentation of the project, Codelco sets out deadlines and stages. In total, two phases of development are proposed, which consider different amounts, times and technologies. Although the national lithium strategy requires as a premise to end evaporation technology, to avoid environmental damage to the salt flats, and the application of new direct extraction (LED) technologies, the Paloma Project initially considers starting with evaporation in Maricunga. Codelco specifies that the first phase will require an investment of US$1,200 million to produce 20 tons of lithium carbonate: production would start in 2030. And it will use the mechanism of evaporation lagoons, which usually requires 18 months of permanence of the brines in pools. Construction would start in 2027 and, according to the schedule distributed, the feasibility study of the first stage

The second phase, according to Codelco, considers 30,000 tons of lithium carbonate, an investment of US$1,100 million and the direct extraction method. The first production with this mechanism would begin, according to the estimated schedule, in 2033.
