( Image courtesy of Bacanora Minerals | Twitter. Mexico, which nationalized lithium resources in April, plans to start producing lithium batteries in late 2023 as it has secured foreign investment and the backing of the United States, its leading trading partner.
The lithium business will be fundamental for Mexico. The Treasury estimates that the nationalization of lithium and the attraction of the value chain in Sonora, the state with the largest reserves, has a potential value of $600 billion, more than a third of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2022.
According to the US Geological Services, Mexico has the ninth largest identified lithium resources in the world (1.7 million tons). 4 However, there is currently no commercial mining exploitation of lithium in Mexico, only some exploration projects in Jalisco, Guanajuato, Nogales, Sonora, and Puebla.
