"ASIAChile’s SQM Falls In Love With Australia’s Wild WestTim TreadgoldContributorJan 8, 2024,08:51pm ESTMines can’t migrate but capital can and that appears to be what’s happening at SQM, Chile’s world-class producer of lithium for electric vehicles (EVs), but also a business with an increasing focus on Australia.Over the past few years, as the government of Chile has tightened its grip on the country’s lithium industry, SQM has popped up as a player in multiple Australian mining deals."

"Diversifying into Australian lithium achieves multiple objectives for SQM. It gains exposure to hard-rock lithium mining to complement its brine-based operations in Chile, and it lowers its overall exposure to Chile where government control of mining is increasing."
