Lithium concetrations in the brines of the Salar de Atacama vary with geographical position and depth. [17] The brines distanced from the northern and eastern rims of the salt flat —that is the "core" (Spanish: núcleo del salar)— have the highest lithium concentration of any salt flat in the Lithium Triangle.
The Lithium Triangle (Spanish: Triángulo del Litio) is a region of the Andes that is rich in lithium reserves, encompassed by the borders of Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile. [1] The lithium in the triangle is concentrated in various salt pans that exist along the Atacama Desert and neighboring arid areas.

At more than 3,700 meters (12,000 feet) above sea level, the "karachi" swims happily in dense salt flat waters, but locals worry a future lithium project will endanger this extreme-environment fish.
In 1984, lithium was found in micro-fine sediments of the lake and considered amenable to refining in large quantities. [12] Production started from a brine grading 0.12% Li. [ 13 ] The company involved with the extraction, Zabuye (Shenzhen) Lithium Trading Co., Ltd., was established in 1999, employs 11–50 people and has the sales volumes of ...
