Abstract translated with Google...

"The government decided to create a working group to study the potential of lithium exploitation in Portugal. Created in December 2016, this working group recently presented the conclusions of its study. And these are pretty pragmatic.

It is proposed the creation of a mining promotion program, with the creation of new farms, to test the technology and demonstrate the industrial potential of this metal. The working group also proposes the implementation of two new industrial units.

The first would be focused on the experimental development of the value chain and the second would be a pilot unit of industrial transformation.

For both industrial units Portugal 2020 and European funds are already identified as a source of funding.

During the next few months there will be decisions as to where the new industrial units will be located. This is not about mines but about industrial processing units."
