After a warm welcome from the French Ambassador to Argentina (Romain Nadal), we met with the National Mining Secretariat to discuss the progress of our work and the recent tests carried out in Güemes.
François-Xavier & François-Michel also had an important discussion with the European Commission in Buenos Aires on the need to diversify Europe’s lithium supply.
Next, the team traveled to Salta, where we strengthened our local presence by signing a MOU (Memorandum of Cooperation) with the Provincial Industrial Park and meeting with the Minister of Production of Salta. We also had the opportunity to visit the field, where we continue to optimize our technology under real conditions – operating at altitudes of 3,700 to 4,000 meters with limited access to water and energy.
Since October, our demonstration plant at Güemes has successfully tested five customer brines, confirming the versatility and performance of our proprietary technology. Our process delivers high lithium recovery and purity with minimal water and energy consumption and no chemical reagents – helping to protect the environment and local communities.
We thank our partners and teams in Argentina for their commitment and cooperation. Together, we are paving the way for a cleaner, more resilient lithium supply chain.
