ARThe Argentine government approved the inclusion of a new lithium production project, managed by LIEX S.A., into the Regime of Incentives for Large Investments (RIGI). The project, located in the Salar Tres Quebradas in Catamarca province, involves a $709 million investment to build a plant producing lithium carbonate through direct extraction. The initiative was formalized via Resolution 1153/2026 signed by Economy Minister Luis Caputo. The project aims to generate 40,000 tons of lithium carbonate annually, create over 4,400 jobs, and boost local supplier contracts at 60.26%. It also expects annual exports of around $400 million once operational.
