We are in an era marked by technological advances and shifts in the global energy landscape, which has led to a shift in the mining industry’s interest from traditional industrial minerals, such as tin or zinc, to those of increasing importance like lithium, technological minerals, and rare earth elements. These minerals are crucial for the production of batteries, electronic circuits, microchips, and other high-demand electronic components.

In the past few decades, informal commerce has witnessed a substantial surge in Bolivia. It is common to encounter individuals offering products on the streets identified with trademarks, many of which are well-known brands. However, these trademarks are frequently utilized without proper authorization, as they are owned by other rights holders.
Given the pre-colonial existence of indigenous communities, nations and rural indigenous peoples, the Bolivian State recognizes among its fundamental bases their participation in the different areas of economic development, such as mining. That is to say that, from the beginning, the mining activity carried out in Bolivia has been conditioned not only by purely legal and technical aspects, but also includes an extremely strong and determining social component when it is carried out.
As a result of fiscal rescue policies and public spending geared towards welfare, combined with trade conflicts among economic powers, many countries face the challenge of ensuring stability and promoting economic growth.
Within the framework of the objectives of the Bolivian Government, the country advances in the transition from traditional mining to technological mining, focused on the exploration, prospecting, exploitation, and commercialization of technological minerals and rare earths. This initiative seeks to diversify the national economy and increase the income generated by mining.
