Bolivia’s Lithium Quandary
In 1 of the much more remote regions on the planet, large in the Andes, lies the Salar de Uyuni, the famed salt flats stretch across far more than 4,000 square miles in Potosi, Bolivia, nicely regarded for the fabulous wealth in silver extracted there by the Spanish in colonial occasions. Now a new age of mining could carry a 21st century El Dorado for the impoverished South American nation, as geologists feel that more than 50 percent the world’s reserves of lithium could lie underneath the salt pans.
Government officials declare that Bolivia possesses the world’s most significant lithium reserves, and they also believe that the nation is poised to revenue from auto manufacturers which are driving to build electrical automobiles that will run on lithium ion batteries.
“Bolivia will turn out to be a massive producer in six many years of batteries,” Luis Alberto Echazu, the minister of mining and metallurgy, said in an interview. He ticked off 3 businesses that he said have expressed curiosity in investing in the government’s lithium venture: Sumitomo, Mitsubishi and Bollore, a French business.
Lithium is the lightest metal and the least-dense solid. It’s ordinarily extracted from beneath salt flats, at the moment about 70% of the world’s supplies arrive from Chile and Argentina. The U.S. Geological Survey says 5.4 million tons of lithium could possibly be extracted in Bolivia, compared with three million in Chile, 1.one million in China. Independent geologists estimate that Bolivia may have additional lithium deposits at Uyuni and its other salt deserts, though significant altitudes and the good quality of the reserves could make access & extraction challenging.
Whilst estimates differ broadly, some geologists say electrical-vehicle companies could draw on Bolivia’s lithium deposits for decades. More importantly, the US is estimated to have much less than 400,000 metric tonnes accessible for exploitation inside of its borders. Although lithium batteries don’t at the moment energy hybrid automobiles, analysts believe that the fuel-effective electrical autos of the potential most likely will use them. With an estimated 20,000 tons of lithium carbonate expected yearly from the salt flats, a increasing demand for lithium for electrical car batteries, and with the value of a ton of lithium up from $350 in 2003 to $3,000 this 12 months, a possible bonanza beckons for socialist President Evo Morales.
“There are salt lakes in Chile and Argentina, and a promising lithium deposit in Tibet, but the prize is clearly in Bolivia,” Oji Baba, an executive in Mitsubishi’s Base Metals Unit, stated in La Paz. “If we want to be a force in the subsequent wave of vehicles and the batteries that energy them, then we ought to be here.”
Mitsubishi is not on your own in preparing to generate vehicles utilizing lithium-ion batteries. Ailing vehicle companies in the United States are pinning their hopes on lithium. Common Motors (NYSE – GM) ideas to roll out its Volt in 2010, pairing a lithium-ion battery along with a petrol engine. Nissan, Ford and BMW, among other carmakers, have equivalent projects.

Demand for lithium, has climbed as makers of batteries for BlackBerrys, iPhones, laptops & other digital devices use the mineral. But the automotive market holds the greatest untapped possible for lithium, analysts say. Given that it weighs much less than nickel, which is also applied in batteries, it would permit electrical autos to keep more energy and be driven longer distances.
Even so, President Evo Morales & Bolivias strong popular movement are suspicious of foreign companies & have a track document of arbritary dealings with foreign considerations, as Brazil discovered out in 2006, when Morales nationalised all normal gas considerations in Bolivia, like operations by UK producer BP (NYSE – BP). The finish end result getting that foreign organizations have halted all investment in Bolivian possibilities.
“There are pretty substantial barriers to creating the resource in Bolivia,” claimed Timothy McKenna, vice president of investor relations at Rockwood Holdings, 1 of the three key lithium producers in Latin America.
At the La Paz headquarters of Comibol, the state company that oversees mining tasks, Mr. Morales’s vision of combining socialism with advocacy for Bolivia’s Indians is prominently on show. Copies of Cambio, a new state-managed every day newspaper, are available in the lobby, even though posters of Che Guevara, the leftist icon killed in Bolivia in 1967, seem at the entrance to Comibol’s offices.
“The earlier imperialist design of exploitation of our organic sources will never ever be repeated in Bolivia,” claimed Saúl Villegas, head of a division in Comibol that oversees lithium extraction. “Perhaps there could be the likelihood of foreigners accepted as minority partners, or far better yet, as our consumers.”
A potential model may possibly currently be in spot, India’s Jindal Steel & Electrical power signed a $two.1 billion offer in 2008 for the exploitation of iron reserves in south-eastern Bolivia, in the vicinity of the border with Brazil. This will let Jindal, India’s main steel producer, to acquire 50% of El Mutun, widely considered to be the most important untapped iron ore deposit in the world, along with steel producing facilities. With an believed 40 billion tons of iron ore reserve, El Mutun is anticipated to create $200 million a 12 months for Bolivia, plus up to 21,000 jobs when the industrial production of steel starts in 2010. It is heavily rumoured that Jindal won the concession due to its environmental track record. In 2007, Jindal was awarded India’s Nationwide Vitality Conservation Award in the Integrated Metal Plants Sector for its accomplishment in safeguarding the surroundings by adopting eco-pleasant processes and pursuits.
The chance to enrich the nation is there & a mindful stability involving foreign technological & fiscal guidance in building the deposits, whilst offering an affordable & ecological bias for Bolivia is obviously essential. The true question is can Morales stroll the tight rope involving populist politics & reality ? My opinion, he will get there, as has not long ago been viewed, collapsing oil rates have had a key adverse effect on Venezuela & Hugo Chavez affect in the area & beyond. So one particular route for Foreign Direct Investment seems to be closed. Morales is a sharp operator & I can see him letting foreign firms into partnership with Comibol, but absolutely on Bolivian terms.
