Eramet is being closely watched by competitors from the US to Chile that are also working to commercialize DLE.
The world’s 50 biggest miners gained a combined $42 billion during Q2, but the ranks of lithium stocks in the top tier have halved as valuations plummet.
The deal creates Arabian New Energy company, which seeks the exclusive right to purchase spodumene mined at Wolfsberg in Austria.
In May, Chile gave Albemarle the ability to increase its lithium production by nearly 50%.
Sixty percent of the projects are within 16 salt flats and over 80% of the proposals considered the use of direct lithium extraction technology.
Chile in April called for proposals in more than two dozen salt flats that contain the battery metal.
The project is a joint venture between Tsingshan and French miner Eramet in Salta Province.
The plan includes expanding the category of consumer batteries, improving quality and performance, and strengthening research and development.
The Vancouver-based miner is exploring and developing the largest mineral land holdings in the area, which adjoin and surround Albemarle's Silver Peak mine.
