Bolivia is the largest world lithium reserve with brines for extraction at salt lakes, the main one being Uyuni. Policies for development were reactivated by 1997 with periodically revised plans. Specific projects have been implemented since 2007, including pilot plants and experimental exports. Only by the end of 2018 did Bolivia succeed in signing significant contracts with foreign participation. Internal political factors forced the termination of an important contract with ACY Systems GmbH - Germany. The government elected in 2020 renewed efforts, and are expected to re-initiate significant progress by 2021. Technological challenges remain (rainy seasons – magnesium brine composition). The state has active participation in agreements with foreign/national private parties.

玻利维亚是世界上最大的锂储备，在盐湖中开采卤水，主要是乌尤尼。到 1997 年，发展政策通过定期修订的计划重新启动。自 2007 年以来已经实施了具体项目，包括试点工厂和实验出口。直到 2018 年底，玻利维亚才成功签署了有外国参与的重大合同。内部政治因素迫使终止与 ACY Systems GmbH - 德国的重要合同。The government elected in 2020 renewed efforts, and are expected to re-initiate significant progress by 2021. Technological challenges remain (rainy seasons – magnesium brine composition). 国家积极参与与外国/国内私人团体的协议。
