Reuters reported that protesters from indigenous communities around Chile’s Atacama salt flats, among the world’s richest reserves of lithium, have blocked access to lithium operations amid nationwide rallies over inequality. Mr Sergio Cubillos, president of the Atacama Indigenous Council, told Reuters a road blockade had shut down SQM’s operations since Wednesday morning. He said “They’re completely shut down. The roads are closed. Indigenous communities had joined the protests over social inequality in solidarity with fellow Chileans over concerns over environmental impacts of lithium mining in their territory. We hope to continue protesting until the state hears us and attends our legitimate demands.”
The South American nation possesses the world’s largest reserves of the lightweight metal crucial to manufacturing batteries for electric vehicles, laptops and cellphones. The desert salt basin is home to the world’s top two lithium producers: Chile’s SQM and US based Albemarle
