salt flats is necessary to ascertain their exploitation potential and expand the overall reserves.In 2019, the U.S
company SRK conducted a geological reserve certification in the Uyuni salt flat, involving the drilling of 50-meter deep wells across a
potential for lithium extraction.By expanding the reserves, Bolivia seeks to enhance its position as one of the countries with significant
evaporite resources, with lithium reserves currently estimated at 21 million tons in the Uyuni salt flat.The exploration efforts will help
global demands.
