Discussion surrounding the creation of a so-called "Lithium OPEC" is underway between Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, and Brazil, with the group potentially set to emulate similar strategies of OPEC, according to a group of Argentinian representatives at the annual PDAC Convention held in Toronto in March 2023. With the three Lithium Triangle countries (Argentina, Chile, Bolivia) making up more than 60% of the world's known lithium resources, it's clear why there's been a race to secure lithium assets in the region. Several miners are making huge strides in South America's lithium scene, including Lithium South Development Corporation (TSXV:LIS) (OTCQB:LISMF), Livent Corporation (NYSE:LTHM), Allkem Limited (TSX:AKE) (OTC:OROCF), Lithium Americas, and Rio Tinto Group (NYSE:RIO).
