Codelco says it will wait to evaluate financing for El Abra expansion
Freeport McMoran, which owns 51% of the mine, plans to invest around $7.5 billion to expand.
Albemarle, the world’s largest producer of lithium for electric vehicle batteries, posted a 45% drop in second-quarter profit on Wednesday as sales dropped across all its divisions.
The company posted net income of $85.6 million, or 80 cents per share, compared to $154.2 million, or $1.45 per share, in the year-ago quarter.
