Quote:
In the case of lithium, the short term will be marked by the recent approval of the exploration project in the Salar de Maricunga by Codelco, which would allow an investment of ThUS$15 in the sector. The activities should begin in March and extend towards the end of the year. The progress of the Salar Blanco project can also be mentioned, subject to the resolution of the controversies that exist in the Salar de Maricunga.

Nice to see more attention to maricunga, but I dont know what the minister is referring to with the "subject to the resolution of the controversies that exist in the salar de maricunga. what is he referring to here?
