Lithium Tracker: monitoring the lithium industry in Chile

Our dedicated platform with constantly updated information on the development and progress of the lithium industry.

The lithium industry in Chile is constantly growing and, following the launch of the National Lithium Strategy, the sector has become more relevant both nationally and internationally. As a result, we have launched the Lithium Tracker platform, a special section dedicated to this strategic sector, where you can find the latest news and the most relevant milestones in the development of this strategy.

The page is made up of two main sections, Lithium Tracker and Next Steps, which are constantly updated, making it a permanent repository of information on regulatory developments, transactions and the industry’s main players.

This platform also provides the direct contacts of our lawyers specializing in lithium and natural resources, who can guide you on any question related to investment, regulation or project development in this sector.
