POSCO Holdings has completed the upstream process of its second brine lithium plant in Argentina. The plant is located at the Hombre Muerto Salt Flat, at an altitude of 4,000 meters above sea level.
The completion of the plant establishes an annual production system of 50,000 tons of lithium hydroxide. This milestone was achieved eight years after POSCO Holdings acquired the local salt lake mining rights in 2018.
A completion ceremony was attended by several high-profile individuals, including POSCO Group Chairman Chang In-hwa, who noted that he had personally visited sites to find suitable salt flats for lithium development since 2014. According to The Korea Times, Chang said it was "deeply moving" to have overcome challenges in the extreme environment and reach the completion.
