The head of one of Chile's top mining associations on Tuesday urged the government to speed up efforts to expand the lithium industry without waiting to hammer out deals with miners SQM and Albemarle as it seeks to boost state control. Chile's government under President Gabriel Boric this year announced plans to only allow public-private partnerships for lithium contracts, and appointed state run copper producer Codelco to negotiate with SQM and Albemarle, the only producers in Chile of the light metal used for electric car batteries. Codelco expects to reach a deal with SQM by the end of the year ahead of the 2030 expiration of the company's contract, but details about what the agreement could entail are scarce.
