Mexico seeking accord with lithium firm in Sonora state
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Tuesday his government wanted to reach agreement with a company over lithium mining in a northern state that will underline Mexico's right to exploit the valuable mineral.
Lopez Obrador did not name the firm, but China's Ganfeng has been developing a major lithium project in the northern border state of Sonora, where it is hoping to produce 35 000 t of lithium a year.
