Ganfeng Lithium Begins Production at Argentina’s Mariana Salt Lake Project

China-based Ganfeng Lithium has started production at its Mariana Salt Lake project in Salta Province, Argentina. The facility, developed with an investment of $790 million (5.76 billion yuan), is designed to produce 20,000 tonnes per year of lithium chloride extracted from the Llullaillaco salt flat.

This marks the launch of multiple lithium projects Ganfeng is advancing in Argentina. The company has also invested $190 million in a solar park to supply energy for the Mariana plant.

Ganfeng Lithium Group President Wang Xiaoshen stated that progress continues across the company’s other lithium projects in Argentina, reinforcing its expansion in the region.
