Standard Lithium shares rise after being selected for $225m award negotiation by DOE
The funding is intended to support the construction of the central processing facility for Phase 1 of the South West Arkansas project.
Bolivian state lithium miner YLB has named Omar Alarcon the firm’s new chief executive, state news channel Television Boliviana said on Monday, replacing predecessor Karla Calderon.
An official at the country’s energy ministry said the change was due to an internal adjustment.
Bolivia does not produce commercial quantities of lithium, a key battery metal used to power electric vehicles, but the US Geological Survey estimates it holds 23 million tons – the most resources of any country worldwide.
