Antofagasta Region, Chile
Salar brinesLi
- Type
- Salar brine
The world's largest lithium brine resource (about 40% of world reserves), with a negative correlation between lithium content and δ7Li. In the north, δ7Li is lighter (about 0 to +4 ‰); in the central halite nucleus it ranges from +4 to +8 ‰.
