South America: Lithium Brine Projects

Since 2010, SRK has been involved in lithium brine projects across Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile, most notably the globally significant Atacama Lithium project. These projects have presented complex hydrogeological and geochemical challenges, some of which required the application of SRK’s innovative approach. SRK’s contributions include resource and reserve estimation, hydrogeological and solute transport modelling, pumping and production plant design, infrastructure planning, economic evaluations, and environmental impact assessments, comprehensively supporting the long-term success of these projects.
