It's from 2012; regarding actions from anon Chile in support of Argentina in the struggle against transnational open-pit mining.

Some context...

85% of the worlds lithium reserves are in the "Lithium Triangle" between Chile, Bolivia and Argentina.

Since the early 80's Chile's lithium reserves have been declared a strategic resource, so no new foreign contracts have been allowed (Although Pinochet did grant contracts to American companies in mid 70's. Short of a constituional reform it's not easy to open more mines.

Bolivia has over 40% of the worlds lithium. Brasil and S Korea were helping the government to develop a plan, but this was complicated by campesino movements among others. Around 2010 they also declared it a strategic resource to be 100% managed by the state.

This left Argentina as the easiest to exploit in the region, hence them getting pressured from all angles. Although I'm not really up to date about what has happened since.

lithium is mostly tapped out imo. however the next-gen materials still have significant work that needs to be done in order to create batteries for our cell phones. and the right chemistry isn't very clear atm, even after years of research. many researchers cling to lithium but there isn't enough room for growth for what is needed in next-gen electronics
