  • Lithium Extraction in Argentina: a Case Study on the Social and Environmental Impacts
    Lithium extraction in Argentina: a case study on the social and environmental impacts Pía Marchegiani, Jasmin Höglund Hellgren and Leandro Gómez. Executive summary The global demand for lithium has grown significantly over recent years and is expected to grow further due to its use in batteries for different products. Lithium is used in smaller electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops but also for larger batteries found in electric vehicles and mobility vehicles. This growing demand has generated a series of policy responses in different countries in the southern cone triangle (Argentina, Bolivia and Chile), which together hold around 80 per cent of the world’s lithium salt brine reserves in their salt flats in the Puna area. Although Argentina has been extracting lithium since 1997, for a long time there was only one lithium-producing project in the country. In recent years, Argentina has experienced increased interest in lithium mining activities. In 2016, it was the most dynamic lithium producing country in the world, increasing production from 11 per cent to 16 per cent of the global market (Telam, 2017). There are now around 46 different projects of lithium extraction at different stages. However, little consideration has been given to the local impacts of lithium extraction considering human rights and the social and environmental sustainability of the projects. With this in mind, the current study seeks to contribute to an increased understanding of the potential and actual impacts of lithium extraction on local communities, providing insights from local perspectives to be considered in the wider discussion of sustainability, green technology and climate change.

  • The Argentine Lithium Connection,#CTMS2017
    The Argentine Lithium Connection A junior stock can begin a decent bull run for any number of reasons, but one thing’s for sure, it’s rarely because a drilling program started. Results? Sure! But explorers exploring is surely no news at all; unless, of course, you’re a Grosso Group company. Joseph Grosso and his team have been so long established in Argentina that confidence in their projects is automatically fairly extreme, and the group’s past successes coupled with their current asset acquisition plans may just be enough to create lift-off. The company in question, Argentina Lithium and Energy Corp. (TSXV: LIT | OTCQB: PNXLF), has the option to earn a 100% interest in the Arizaro Lithium Brine Project, including 20,500 hectares in the central core of the Arizaro Salar, the largest in Argentina and third largest in the “Lithium Triangle”. Upon announcing that exploration had commenced, LIT shares climbed by over 40%; presumably in confident anticipation of a positive outcome resulting from two things: the aforementioned belief in management, and an announcement citing the company’s intention to acquire an additional deposit in the coming weeks. All of this amounts to a sort of confidence positive feedback loop, especially as successful dealings in Argentina are currently reserved for the experienced only. Recent regime change is often enough to scare away most investors, but the Grosso lot have been cluttering up the place for decades already. In short, and with certainty, the group are sufficiently connected to move at an intensely competitive pace compared to, say, a newcomer to the region.

  • The Best of Argentina & Chile Argentina
    05_584391 ch01.qxd 5/17/05 7:18 PM Page 7 1 The Best of Argentina & Chile Argentina and Chile—separated by the serrated peaks of the Andes Moun- tains—combine to blanket the southern half of South America; the distance from Chile’s northern tip to the southern tail of Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego spans almost 4,830km (2,995 miles). And the scope of experiences you can find here is no less grand: from the cosmopolitan bustle of Buenos Aires to the des- olate moonscape of Chile’s Atacama Desert, from the tropical jungles and thun- derous falls of Iguazú to the tundra and glaciers of Torres del Paine National Park. Whether you’ve come to meander the quiet towns of Chile’s Lake District or dance the night away in a smoky, low-lit Argentine tango bar, your trip to the Southern Hemisphere won’t disappoint. In this chapter, we’ve selected the best that Argentina and Chile have to offer—museums, outdoor adventures, hotels, and more. 1 The Most Unforgettable Travel Experiences • Learning to Dance Tango in famous for the brightly colored Buenos Aires: Salones de baile, as sheet-metal houses that border it tango salons are called, blanket and for the sculptures, paintings, the city; the most famous are in and wall murals you’ll find along San Telmo.

  • Promet V Argentini
    PROMET V ARGENTINI Šol. Leto: 2012/2013 UVOD V tej seminarski nalogi bom predstavila dosti o prometu v Argentini. Nekaj za začetek Je država v Južni Ameriki med Andi in je druga največja država v Južni Ameriki in osma na svetu. Uradni jezik je španščina. Argentina je dobila svoje ime po latinski besedi argentum, ki pomeni srebro, plemenito kovino, ki je bila povod za evropsko kolonizacijo. Prevoz v Argentini temelji predvsem na zapleteni mreži poti, po kateri peljejo razmeroma poceni medkrajevni avtobusi in tovorna vozila. V urbanih območjih je glavni prometni sistem z avtobusom ali colectivo Buenos Aires ima podzemno, edini v državi CESTNI PROMET Ker je Argentina je skoraj 4.000 kilometrov dolga in več kot 1000 km široka,je medkrajevni prevoz zelo pomemben Večina argentinskih cest pa je dvopasovnih nacionalnih in pokrajinskih poti. Manj kot tretjina argentinskih cest (230.000 km) je trenutno tlakovana. Po letu 1929 ima Argentina več kot 400.000 vozil V Argentini so ustanovili cestni gradbeni program Direkcija National Highway in sicer leta 1932. Leta 1951 so odprli novo hitro cesto Santa Fe Rosario, ki je bila prva v Latinski Ameriki Argentina ima okoli 9,2 milijonov registriranih avtomobilov Do leta 1945 se je po cestah vozilo po levi strani ceste, od takrat naprej pa po desni Registrske tablice vozila Argentine temeljijo na treh črkah – tablica vsebuje tri črke Najbolj pomembna avtocesta je najvrjetneje Paramerican National Route 9 Buenps Aires – Rosario – Córdoba Najdaljše avtoceste so National Route 40 (Državna pot 40) in se raztezajo 5000 km na območju Andov in National Route 3 ob morju (3000km), ki poteka od Buenos Airesa pa do Ushuaia.

  • THE ANDEAN NORTHWEST T E N a L 243 P Y L E N O L
    © Lonely Planet 243 The Andean Northwest In stark contrast with the low, flat, humid northeast, Argentina’s northwest sits lofty, dry and tough beneath the mighty Andes. Nature works its magic here with stone: weird, wonderful and tortured rockscapes are visible throughout, from the imposing formations of the Parque Nacional Talampaya in the far south to the twisted strata of the Quebrada de Cafayate; from the jagged ruggedness of the Valles Calchaquíes to the palette of colors of the Quebrada de Humahuaca. And always to the west is the brooding presence of magnificent peaks. The area has an Andean feel with its traditional handicrafts, Quechua-speaking pockets, coca leaves, llamas, the indigenous heritage of the inhabitants, Inca ruins, and the high, arid puna (Andean highlands) stretching west to Chile and north to Bolivia. The region’s cities were Argentina’s first colonial settlements and have a special appeal. The quiet gentility of Santiago del Estero recalls bygone centuries, Salta’s beauty makes it a favorite stop for travelers, while resolutely urban Tucumán, a sugarcane capital, seems to look firmly to the future. Several popular routes await. From Salta you can take in the cactus sentinels of Parque Nacional Los Cardones on your way to gorgeous Cachi, and then head down through the tradi- tional weaving communities of the Valles Calchaquíes to Cafayate, home of some of Argentina’s best wines. Another route from Salta soars into the mountains to the puna mining settlement of San Antonio de los Cobres, heads north to the spectacular salt plains of the Salinas Grandes, and then down to the visually wondrous and history-filled Quebrada de Humahuaca.
