"Today begins the era of the industrialization of Bolivian lithium, with the signing of this important agreement with the CBC company for the implementation of industrial complexes based on the Direct Extraction of Lithium in the PotosĂ­ and Oruro salt flats," said the president.

Highlighting the historical importance of the event, the Bolivian dignitary reflected on the years that had to pass for Bolivia to be on the right path of lithium use.



The YLB company will control the construction of the industrial complexes, the operation and maintenance service, the sale of the finished product and the industrialization of lithium carbonate.
