力拓（RIO.L）首席执行官西蒙·特罗特表示，该公司正在评估在阿根廷新建一座锂工厂，该项目将需要约10亿美元的额外投资。
Tinto (RIO.L) is evaluating the construction of a new lithium plant in Argentina that would require about $1 billion in additional investment, Chief Executive Simon Trott said.
特罗特表示，这家矿业公司计划明年将拟建于卡塔马卡省翁布雷穆埃尔托盐沼的Fenix II项目提交给阿根廷的大型投资激励制度。
• Trott said the mining company plans to submit the Fenix II project, planned for the Hombre Muerto salt flat in Catamarca province, to Argentina's incentive regime for large investments next year
“该项目正在考虑之中；它将是下一阶段的扩建，”特罗特本周访问阿根廷期间表示。最终投资决定可能在十年末前后做出。
• "It's under consideration; it would be the next phase of expansion," Trott said during a visit to Argentina this week • A final investment decision could be made toward the end of the decade
特罗特于周三发表上述言论，当天这家英澳矿业公司在翁布雷穆埃尔托为新落成的两座锂工厂举行了落成典礼。

阿根廷、玻利维亚和智利共同构成“锂三角”，该地区拥有全球60%的锂储量，锂是电动汽车电池的关键原料。力拓在阿根廷拥有44亿美元的投资项目储备。特罗特表示，该公司还在探索推进该国铜项目的各种方案。
