This is the first ever lithium exploration and mining project by a Government Company of India.\u00a0 KABIL will start exploration and development of 5 lithium brine blocks viz 1.\u00a0Cortadera-I, 2. Cortadera-VII, 3. Cortadera-VIII, 4. Cateo-2022-01810132 and 5. Cortadera-VI\u00a0covering an area of about 15,703 Hectare, located in the Catamarca province of Argentina.KABIL is also preparing to set up a branch office at Catamarca, Argentina. The project cost is about 200 crores.<\/p>\n

With this Agreement, KABIL has obtained Exploration and Exclusivity Right for 5 blocksto evaluate, prospect and explore and subsequent to existence\/discovery of lithium mineral, exploitation right for commercial production.\u00a0 This will not only boost it\u2019s quest for sourcing lithium for India but will also help in bringing in technical & operational experience for Brine type lithium exploration, exploitation and extraction.<\/p>\n

Argentina is the part of \u201cLithium Triangle\u201d along with Chile and Bolivia with more than half of world\u2019s total lithium resources and having the distinction of having 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0largest lithium resources, 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0largest lithium reserves and 4th<\/sup>\u00a0largest production in world.<\/p>\n

This strategic move not only strengthens the bilateral ties between India and Argentina but also contributes to the sustainable development of the mining sector, ensuring a resilient and diversified supply chain for critical and strategic minerals essential for various industries.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
