More than 50 companies from around the world are jostling to negotiate lithium deals under Chile’s new public-private model

have dominated the Atacama salt flat, which represents 30% of global lithium production. However, President Gabriel Boric’s new solution is a model that will see the state take a controlling stake in strategic and sensitive operations while private firms will retain control of non-strategic projects.

” Boric’s left-leaning government is currently working on a bill that will establish the new national lithium company. However, getting the bill through Congress and implementing it could take a big chunk of Boric's four-year term, which runs through March 2026. If approved, private entities in the lithium industry will be allowed to participate, but only as minority partners in joint ventures with the State. Codelco and its peer, Chilean State-owned mining company, Enami, would represent the State in future projects initially until the country creates a new, standalone lithium mining company. Chile has also proposed to incentivize the exploration of other salt flats other than the Atacama so as to diversify the sources of lithium and expand production.
