Resumen
Argentina is in fourth place in the amount of proven lithium reserves, integrating together to Bolivia and Chile the so-called “lithium triangle”. But what is lithium for? Where does it come from? extracted and how is it obtained? What are the projections for this market? In this sense, one of the objectives of this presentation is to provide an accessible and clear explanation of the situation of the exploitation of lithium in Argentina. On the other hand, within this context, it is desired to expose the case of Rocasur, a small-medium Argentine company that provides products and services in the drilling area, which has experienced significant growth in recent years as a consequence of the exploitation of lithium ore. In this way, some business statistics of the company related to its participation in the lithium economy and the future prospects.
