RE:Another Li project is off line
RE:Another Li project is off lineHere is a better article, as summarized:
"Lithium contained in Bolivian salt flats are higher in altitude, not as dry, and contain more magnesium (Mg) and potassium than in neighbouring Chile and Argentina, making the extraction process much more complicated and costly.
Uyuni’s higher rainfall and cooler climate mean that its evaporation rate is not even half that of Chile’s Salar de Atacama, where brine ponds evaporate quickly.
A lack of infrastructure and investor confidence in the Bolivian government are other issues negatively affecting Morales’ hopes for a developed lithium industry."

So many expansions or developments are on hold, and it is good for the industry, and may take some time to balance out.
