India has identified two lithium mines and one copper mine in Argentina for a possible acquisition or long-term lease.
In November 2022, a team of geologists was sent to Argentina to assess potential lithium deposits.
Khanij Bidesh India Ltd. (Kabil), a joint venture between the National Aluminium Company (Nalco), Hindustan Copper (HCL), and Mineral Exploration Corporation Ltd., will acquire or lease the mines in Argentina.
Argentina is home to large deposits of lithium, a valuable silvery-white alkali metal, in the Atacama region.
