Our Fénix facility produces lithium carbonate to support the growing demand for battery materials.  

It is located at the Salar del Hombre Muerto in the Catamarca Province of Argentina and has been producing lithium carbonate from high-quality lithium brine since 1997. The site uses proprietary selective adsorption direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology. In May 2024, we completed the first phase of a 10,000 metric ton expansion, further strengthening Fénix’s role in the global lithium marketplace.
