Protest ends at Chile’s lithium salt flats with promise of Boric visit By Reuters

From Investing.com:

Protesters in Chile have agreed to end demonstrations blocking access to the Atacama salt flat, the world’s largest lithium deposit, after a promise of a visit by President Gabriel Boric. Indigenous groups had been blocking public roads leading to mining operations, citing an agreement that sidelined local communities.

Albemarle said its operations continued as normal during the protest, while SQM did not respond to comments.
