The primary raw material is lithium, predominantly sourced from operations in Argentina. Lithium is extracted from lithium-rich brines in the Andes Mountains using proprietary selective adsorption and solar evaporation methods. Arcadium processes the brine into lithium carbonate at manufacturing facilities in Fénix and Olaroz, and into lithium chloride at a facility in Güemes, Argentina. Production figures for lithium carbonate and lithium chloride are reported for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, including operations of Allkem and its predecessor, Livent. Occasionally, lithium carbonate raw materials have been purchased from other suppliers as needed. Water is essential for operations, with water rights and permits held by subsidiaries MdA and SDV for raw water supply from the Trapiche and Los Patos aquifers. MdA operates the Salar del Hombre Muerto property and holds water rights and permits for current operations and expansion phases. SDV, under development in the same area, also holds water rights and permits for its initial development and planned production.
