Last April, Chilean authorities appointed the mining company Codelco <\/strong>as the head to lead negotiations to promote the National Lithium Strategy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state-owned company informed that it had created two subsidiaries to attend to the recently entrusted lithium business, in the midst of the government’s plan to increase control over the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a press release, Codelco <\/strong>officially announced the creation of “Salares de Chile SpA<\/strong>“, which will seek to consolidate the activities of Codelco’s lithium companies, while “Minera Tarar SpA<\/strong>“, its first subsidiary, will focus exclusively on the operation in the Salar de Atacama<\/strong>, including a possible association with the private companies currently operating there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operation Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to information released by Reuters <\/strong>news agency, the parent company Salares de Chile<\/strong> will have as president the same Head of Codelco’s board of directors, M\u00e1ximo Pacheco<\/strong>, and as Vice-president, the Director Eduardo Bitr\u00e1n, who was already in charge years ago of negotiating changes in SQM <\/strong>and Albemarle<\/strong>‘s contracts, when he headed Corfo<\/strong>‘s development office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacheco and Bitr\u00e1n will also hold the same positions on the board of Minera Tarar<\/strong>. The government’s plan contemplates that the State will have a majority participation in all projects considered strategic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economy Minister Nicol\u00e1s Grau<\/strong> said in an interview with Reuters <\/strong>that they hope to close negotiations with the operators in the Salar de Atacama<\/strong> before the end of the government’s term, which expires in March 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day before, Chile’s SQM<\/strong> said it expects to start lithium talks with Codelco <\/strong>in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electric Mobility Contributions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Codelco is a key player in the massification of electromobility in Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The largest fleet of electric buses in the Chilean mining industry began operating during the second half of 2022, in line with the decarbonization commitments of the world’s leading copper producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 155 buses were incorporated<\/strong>, more than 100 of them manufactured in Chile<\/strong>, which do not generate direct emissions and transport workers from important regions such as Chuquicamata, Andina and El Teniente.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
