    Política De Industrialización De Litio, El Caso Boliviano Por Hortensia Jimenez Rivera*

    INFORME SOBRE POLÍTICAS o N 85 █ Octubre de 2020 Política de industrialización de litio, el caso boliviano Por Hortensia Jimenez Rivera* 1. Resumen El litio es un mineral de gran importancia en la industria tecnológica mundial, lo que lo convierte en un recurso estratégico para un país. Por ello, es responsabilidad del Estado asegurar que su explotación sea una oportunidad para el desarrollo y el bienestar, protegiendo los intereses de su población y maximizando sus beneficios de manera que la gestión de su riqueza no lleve a más pobreza y dependencia. Las políticas que se adopten para el aprovechamiento de los recursos naturales pasan por definir el régimen de propiedad so- bre los recursos y el grado de industrialización en el país, lo que implica –de manera directa– ingresos y desarrollo, para luego resolver aspectos de orden tecnológico, financiero, institucional, legal y de mercado. Este informe describe la experiencia boliviana de la industrialización del litio, las características de su industrialización bajo una política de desarrollo nacional y revela cómo el tipo de política implementada es determinante para la explotación de un recurso natural. *** Lithium is a mineral element of high importance to the technology industry, a fact that makes it a strategic resource for countries. In view of that, it is the State’s responsibility to make sure that its exploitation becomes an opportunity for development and well-being, protecting the interests of the population and maximizing its benefits so that the management of this wealth may not lead to poverty and dependence. The adoption of policies on the use of natural resources comprises defining the property regime over the resources, the degree of industrialization in the country, which directly implies income and development, and then resolving technological, financial, institutional, legal, and marketing aspects.

A. PETRINOVIC Universidad Nacional de Salta CONICET, Buenos Aires 177, A-4400, Salta, Argentina, [email protected] RESUMEN Basándose en un estudio volcanológico de detalle, se ha identificado el centro de emisión e interpretado los mecanismos erup t i vos de numerosos depósitos piroclásticos, en el extremo oriental de la Cadena Volcánica Tra n s v ersal del Quevar , provincia de Salta, Arg e n t i n a . La interpretación de los datos sugiere la formación de una caldera de colapso vinculada a un régimen tectónico transcurrente. La edad de su formación es de ca 10-10,5 Ma. El volumen total de magma vesiculado es de 200-250 km3. Se definen los siguientes de- pósitos piroclásticos: Ignimbrita Verde, Ignimbrita Chorrillos, Ignimbrita Tajamar e Ignimbrita Abra del Gallo. La historia volcánica comienza con eventos ex p l o s ivos, apertura de conductos, colapso del borde oriental de la caldera y depósito de la Ignimbrita Verde con apertura de conductos centrales. El colapso es continuo con desarrollo de conductos laterales y depósito de las Ignimbritas Chorrillos, Tajamar y Abra del Gallo. La Ignimbrita Tajamar representa la unidad de colapso principal en fa c i e s de intracaldera. La facies de extracaldera está representada por la Ignimbrita Abra del Gallo. El colapso se completa en un corto intervalo de tiempo, seguido de un evento de resurgencia del piso de la caldera debido a re- lajación del campo de esfuerzos regionales y/o intrusión de un domo.

    Convergent Margin Magmatism in the Central Andes and Its Near Antipodes in Western Indonesia: Spatiotemporal and Geochemical Considerations

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Morgan J. Salisbury for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology presented on June 3, 2011. Title: Convergent Margin Magmatism in the Central Andes and its Near Antipodes in Western Indonesia: Spatiotemporal and Geochemical Considerations Abstract approved: ________________________________________________________________________ Adam J.R. Kent This dissertation combines volcanological research of three convergent continental margins. Chapters 1 and 5 are general introductions and conclusions, respectively. Chapter 2 examines the spatiotemporal development of the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex in the Lípez region of southwest Bolivia, a locus of a major Neogene ignimbrite flare- up, yet the least studied portion of the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex of the Central Andes. New mapping and laser-fusion 40Ar/39Ar dating of sanidine and biotite from 56 locations, coupled with paleomagnetic data, refine the timing and volumes of ignimbrite emplacement in Bolivia and northern Chile to reveal that monotonous intermediate volcanism was prodigious and episodic throughout the complex. 40Ar/39Ar age determinations of 13 ignimbrites from northern Chile previously dated by the K-Ar method improve the overall temporal resolution of Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex development. Together with new and updated volume estimates, the new age determinations demonstrate a distinct onset of Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex ignimbrite volcanism with modest output rates beginning ~11 Ma, an episodic middle phase with the highest eruption rates between 8 and 3 Ma, followed by a general decline in volcanic output. The cyclic nature of individual caldera complexes and the spatiotemporal pattern of the volcanic field as a whole are consistent with both incremental construction of plutons as well as a composite Cordilleran batholith.

A geothermal system was recently discovered 60 km to the NNW of El Tatio by CODEL- CO, while drilling a shallow water well, in the area of the AAV (Lahsen et at., 2005).

The AAVC is part of the Altiplano Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC) which is a large zone of silicic volcanism occupying the 21-24°S segment of the Central Andean Volcanic Zone (ACVZ; [1,2]) an area characterized by continental crust >70 km thick [3]. The APVC is dominated by 1-10 Ma ignimbrite flare up [4] and, although no major ignimbrite-caldera forming eruptions of < 1 Ma are known, relatively young dacite to rhyolite lavas (e.g. Chao) and domes (e.g. La Torta de Tocorpuri dome) erupted in the past 100 ka and the presence of famous active geothermal fields (i.e El Tatio and Sol de la Mañana) seem to indicate that the magmatic system of the APVC is currently active [1].

The 21 earthquake depths are near sea level, more than 10 km above the geodetically inferred inflation 22 source and the Altiplano Puna Magma Body. The Mw 8.8 Maule earthquake on 27 February 2010 23 triggered hundreds of earthquakes at Uturuncu with the onset of the Love and Rayleigh waves and 24 again with the passage of the X2/X3 overtone phases of Rayleigh waves. This is one of the first 25 incidences in which triggering has been observed from multiple surface wave trains. The 26 earthquakes are oriented NW-SE similar to the regional faults and lineaments.

    ASX:GLN FSX:9CH DEVELOPING HIGH-GRADE LITHIUM BRINE PROJECTS IN ARGENTINA RIU SYDNEY May 2021 For personal use only DISCLAIMER AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION For personal use only DISCLAIMER AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION Cautionary Statement The Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is a preliminary technical and economic study (equivalent to a JORC Scoping Study) of the potential viability of the HMW Lithium Brine Project required to reach a decision to proceed with more definitive studies. It is based on preliminary/low-level technical and economic assessments that are not sufficient to support the estimation of Ore Reserves or provide certainty that the conclusions/results of the PEA will be realised. Further exploration and evaluation work and appropriate studies are required before Galan will be in a position to estimate any Ore Reserves or to provide any assurance of an economic development case. The economic analysis results should be treated as preliminary in nature and caution should be exercised in their use as a basis for assessing project feasibility. The PEA was based on material assumptions including assumptions about the availability of funding. While Galan considers all of the material assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by the PEA will be achieved. To achieve the range of proposed feasibility studies and potential mine development outcomes indicated in the PEA, additional funding will be required. Investors should note that there is no certainty that Galan will be able to raise funding when needed. It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that may be dilutive to or otherwise affect the value of Galan’s existing shares.
