Bolivia is home to what is considered to be the world’s largest lithium reserve, the Salar de Uyuni, which covers an area of around 10,500 km2.
In order to carry out the exploitation and initial processing of the lithium, the government has formed the Bolivian State Lithium Deposits (YLB) company, the chief executive of which, Juan Carlos Montenegro, met last week with President Evo Morales to review the results of the evaluation of the expressions of interest by eight firms from China (5), Canada (1), Germany (1) and Russia (1) to undertake the project.
Initially, the shortlisted bidders were the German and Russian Uranium One Group, part of the Russian state Atomic energy corporation, Rosatom, which is currently building Bolivia’s Center for Research and Development in Nuclear Technology in the city of El Alto.
