Known for its expertise in metal extraction and processing, Eramet is the ideal partner to advance the development of Lithium Chile's property in the Llamara area through the Molle Verde project.
Under
the

Lithium Chile would be entitled to a bonus preagreed by the parties, based on the amount of lithium carbonate equivalent resources delineated, in accordance with a completed NI 43-101 or similar instrument. Details

This partnership underscores our shared commitment to advancing sustainable mineral projects in Chile. We look forward to leveraging their capabilities to maximize the potential of our Chilean properties. The joint venture with Eramet also reinforces that Lithium Chile's portfolio of lithium projects in Chile have significant potential value that isn't currently being reflected in the company's valuation."
