Geopolitical NewsOn April 21, 2023, Chile’s President, Gabriel Boric, announced plans to nationalize Chile’s lithium mining industry. Chile is the world’s second largest producer of lithium, and the country with the largest lithium reserves. Albemarle, a lithium miner, is one of the largest stakeholders in Chilean lithium production. Albemarle is also the owner of the Silver Peak lithium brine mine in southwest Nevada. Rover’s Let’s Go Lithium project is also located in the prolific southwest Nevada lithium jurisdiction, approximately 240 km (150 miles) from the Silver Peak lithium mine.

Judson Culter, CEO at Rover Metals, states, “Albemarle may start looking in their backyard in Nevada for future expansion opportunities. We certainly hope that they do. The news out of Chile in late April re-emphasizes the importance of developing lithium projects closer to EV manufacturing centres, in jurisdictions like Nevada. The ultimate goal here is to support the EV industry by bringing consistent raw material lithium supply to market. Lithium demand is forecasted to continually grow through to 2040.”
