Key Points:
- On the evening of 20 April 2023, Chilean President Gabriel Boric announced the long awaited National Lithium Policy (“NLP” or the “Policy”).
- Lithium Power International’s Director and MSB’s Chairman, Russell Barwick, commented:
“We are pleased that the National Lithium Policy, as presented last week in Santiago, is very much along the lines of what was discussed and expected in our various discussions with Chilean authorities. - Rather than focus on what the legislation means for the future of the Chilean lithium industry, our focus is on what it means for our Maricunga lithium project and how it will transform the Chilean lithium industry through its development.
- At LPI, we welcome President Boric’s National Lithium Strategy and its objective to positively transform the Chilean lithium industry.
