Eramine: energy for the future

Lithium has a leading role in the world’s current scenario as the driving force of clean energies and electromobility. This is why we are committed to delivering the product the world needs, with quality and efficiency.

Production plant in Salar Centenario Ratones

The heart of our project is located in the Centenario Ratones salar, in the department of Los Andes, in the province of Salta. At more than 3,800 meters above sea level, this region is known as the “Puna”, with an arid climate, strong winds and low temperatures that can drop below -25ºC.

In February 2025, we reached a new milestone by exporting the first 40 tonnes of lithium carbonate. Driven by our team’s unwavering commitment, we are steadily increasing both volume and quality, with the goal of surpassing 13,000 tonnes of LCE by the end of the year.
