The statement by the Regional Government of Extremadura followed the approval of the Road Map for the Sustainable Management of Mineral Raw Materials by the Spanish National Government. The Road Map strengthens the country's march toward strategic autonomy in the consumption of vital raw materials such as lithium while also supporting the strategic and sustainable raw material extraction industry.
The metallurgical processing and beneficiation of lithium mineral resources includes the processes required to create lithium hydroxide or another usable lithium compound for the primary purpose of manufacturing lithium-ion batteries.
The decree has reinforced lithium as a regionally important product and incorporated lithium activities as regionally important business projects ('PREMIA'), effectively prioritising permitting, recognition as public utility projects, and access to employment funds.
