Lithium Triangle

The Lithium Triangle (Spanish: Triángulo del Litio) is a region of the Andes rich in lithium reserves around the borders of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile.[1] The lithium in the triangle is concentrated in various salt pans that exist along the Atacama Desert and neighboring arid areas.

The area is thought to hold around 54% of the world's lithium reserves.[2] The Indian Navy has shown interest in the Lithium Triangle as lithium will be required on Li-ION batteries that are planned to be fitted in future submarines.[3]
