Mariana

• Industrial Process: Part is be carried out in Mariana and another part is processed in the Güemes plant -Ganfeng Lithium patent licenses. • The brine deposit extracted from the Salar de Llullaillaco is transported in tank containers to the plant in Güemes for final processing. • The plant was designed with zero liquid effluent systems, reusing internal streams for the preparation of reagents, which reinforces its sustainability approach. • An off-grid solar park was built, initially with 120 MW of solar panels and 288 MW of battery storage, with expansion plans, to supply renewable energy to the project and reduce its carbon footprint. • The solar system not only powers the plant, but also the operations camp.

Forced evaporation

20,000 tonnes per year of Lithium Chloride

• Resources of 8.12 MT of lithium

The project's energy will be supplied by a 120 MW off-grid solar park, with an estimated expansion to 150 MW, making it the largest in Argentina's mining industry. The lithium chloride processing plant in General Güemes is designed to operate with zero liquid effluents.
