China-based miner Ganfeng Lithium has commenced production at its Mariana Salt Lake project in Salta Province in northern Argentina. This development marks the beginning of several lithium projects the company has under way in the country. The Mariana plant was developed with an investment of $790m (5.76bn yuan) and is designed to produce 20,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of lithium chloride from the Llullaillaco salt flat extraction. The project, which began with a ground-breaking ceremony in May 2022, will support Ganfeng in bolstering its lithium production capacity.
