South American strategic mineral cooperation

Overview

Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru have entered into a strategic pact to enhance regional cooperation regarding copper and lithium. The agreement focuses on strengthening supply chains, promoting responsible investment, and developing shared technological and regulatory standards to meet rising global demand driven by the energy transition and artificial intelligence.

Building on this regional framework, Chilean officials have begun promoting specific investment models to international partners. At a recent event in London, Chile’s Biminister of Economy and Mining, Daniel Mas, advocated for strategic alliances between the state-owned company Codelco and private capital. Mas highlighted the need for increased private investment in the lithium sector and noted that the government is working to simplify regulations and provide legal certainty to attract global mining actors.
