SANTIAGO - Chile’s environmental regulator has withdrawn from its legal battle to defend a compliance plan by lithium miner SQM that it approved last year, according to a filing seen by Reuters, a decision that could prove a major setback as the miner seeks to ramp up output of the coveted battery metal.
In 2019, the SMA gave its blessing to a $25 million compliance plan drawn up by SQM after a multi-year investigation had found the company had over-drawn lithium-rich brine from the salt flat. But that decision was tossed out by a regional court in December at the behest of local indigenous communities.
It said that plan involved a series of actions aimed at the “four principal companies that have projects in the salt flat.” The filing names SQM, SQM’s lithium rival Albemarle, Antofagasta’s Zaldivar copper mine and BHP’s Escondida, the world’s largest copper mine.
