The new estimate further cements Bolivia’s position as the country with the world’s biggest known deposits of lithium, which is in high demand for use in batteries.
“If the wealth of a nation is mostly dug out of the ground it’s a terrible place to live because a goldmine can run with dying slaves and still produce great treasure.”
