Chile needs to finalise more lithium plan details to spur investment, miners say

The Chilean government's new plan to usher in private investment at a number of the country's lithium salt flats may stumble over unresolved details that will raise concerns for investors, mining executives and analysts said on Wednesday. Industry players said they are seeking information on how contracts will be awarded by officials in the country that is the world's second-biggest lithium producer and are worried about pushback from Indigenous communities and environmental campaigners.
