Chile to define lithium contracts by June, Mining Minister says
Chile’s government expects to lay out by March the broad terms of lithium contracts to be offered under a new public-private partnership model, Mining Minister Aurora Williams told reporters on Wednesday.
Authorities then expect to have contracts defined by the end of June ahead of a bidding process, Williams said at an event in Santiago. Lithium investment interest remains steady even as prices of the battery metal slump, she said.
