About Eramine

Our company

In Eramine, we produce lithium carbonate, one of the key minerals for the energy transition. Our work combines innovation, safety, and sustainability, in a comprehensive strategy that meets the highest standards of responsible mining.

We are currently working to get the IRMA certification (Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance), which is the most exhaustive and rigorous definition of best mining practices at industrial scale, with more strict requirements than those of any country.

Alejandro Moro, CEO, Eramine Sudamérica S.A.

For us, the success of our operation consists in delivering a high-quality product to our customers while fostering the growth of our professional team, driving progress in local communities, and protecting the environment.

Lithium

Go to Lithium

Lithium is a chemical element in the periodic table. It is a light metal with a special property: it can store energy very well. This property has made it a key material in many modern technologies, particularly rechargeable batteries. It is used in batteries for computers, smartphones and various means of transport, including electric cars.

We combine our talents to form a diverse team, united in a single purpose: to become leaders in the responsible transformation of Earth’s resources, so that we can ‘live well’ together, according to Eramet’s purpose.
