Bolivia has large, lithium-rich salt flats, but its state-owned mining company hasn''t achieved large-scale production. A group of Chinese firms is partnering with YLB, Bolivia’s state-owned lithium mining company, to build a $1 billion project to exploit Bolivia’s large and mostly untapped lithium resources.
The total investment in the Bolivian lithium industry is expected to reach around $9.9 billion. This follows a deal between Bolivia’s state-run lithium company, Yacimientos del Litio Bolivianos (YLB), and a Chinese consortium. CATL agreed to invest over $1 billion in the project’s first stage for rights to develop the two lithium plants.
Chinese battery giant CATL, a global leader in electric vehicle batteries, has confirmed a $1.4 billion investment. This investment aims to develop Bolivia’s untapped lithium reserves and marks a new phase in the CATL-Bolivia partnership. The agreement focuses on Bolivia’s salt flats, known for their vast lithium resources.
CBC will use its advanced technology and expertise to execute this project, positioning Bolivia as a key player in the global lithium battery industry chain,” he said. Since 2021, Bolivia’s YLB has worked on the exploration and quantification of lithium, reaching a record 23 million metric tons.
