The review comes under the auspices of the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Ministry, which is part of the Government of Canada. China Union Holdings Ltd., the proposed acquirer, has been advised by Lithium Chile Inc. that it is currently reviewing the order and will provide further instructions on its intended course of action once the review is completed.

The company's portfolio also includes other properties in Chile, such as the Cerro Verde and the El Teniente properties, which are known for their lithium deposits.
