On February 12th, 2010 ERAMET and BOLLORE signed an agreement for the exploration of lithium deposits in Argentina

The white metal’s great electrochemical potential gives it unique properties that can be used to store and transport high electrical charges. Vehicle manufacturers are taking a close interest in lithium as it could be a strategic factor in electric car production.
