Lithium mining in Chile. What are the companies ?

I saw in USGS Mineral Resources that Chile has 7.5 million tons of identified lithium resources, second only to Bolivia’s 9 million tons.

Lithium ion battery is important for electric vehicle industry. US is also funding heavily on lithium-related industries

What are the companies in Chile that are mining lithium ?

Thanks.

Many reserves are in the lithium triangle or lithium "ABC": " Argentina, Bolivia and Chile". lithium is driving new projects such as Salar de Uyuni ( the biggest lithium reserves located in Bolivia) operated by the Bolivian Government, Salar de Rincon( Argentina) recently sold to the Senpient Group and the minerals depostis owned by Galaxy Resources in Australia, Black Pearl Minerals ( re-named to Canada Lithium Corporation) and Nordic Mining in Finland.
