Description
It is night in the Atacama Desert and a drilling rig from the National Mining Company (Enami) continues to extract brine from the Aguilar salt flat to assess its potential for lithium extraction.
As Chile accelerates its quest to regain leadership in the production of the metal, representatives of the Kolla Indigenous communities and residents of the city of Diego de Almagro react to the potential risks associated with mining these fragile salt flats. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
