* Actual value. For the following years, figures are projections.
** LCE stands for lithium carbonate equivalent.
Figures refer to the maximum projected installed capacity, assuming the short-term addition of all announced projects.
Various sources refers to the Secretary of Mining in Argentina (SecretarÃa de MinerÃa), SEGEMAR-USGS and data from companies.
Figures have been rounded.
Argentina's lithium production installed capacity amounted to **** thousand metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in 2017. Based on announced expansion projections, the country's installed production capacity is projected to increase by more than **** by 2022, reaching *** thousand metric tons that year. The country's lithium production amounted to *** thousand metric tons in 2017.
