U.S. electric vehicle maker Tesla Motors Inc has met with government authorities in Chile to discuss a lithium venture with state copper miner Codelco, a local newspaper reported on Thursday. Lithium is a key ingredient of the electric car batteries used in Tesla's autos. The world's largest known deposits of the chemical straddle huge salt flats in Chile, Bolivia and Argentina.
"Top executives from the company visited Chile to meet with government authorities and suggest an agreement with Codelco," financial newspaper Pulso reported, without citing sources.

Codelco [COBRE.UL], the world No. 1 producer of copper, also has small operations in deposit offshoots like silver but no current interests in lithium. It has said previously that it would consider entering the lithium industry if there were a good business opportunity.
With copper prices at six-year lows, the prospect of diversification may look attractive. However, Codelco executives have also been skeptical, given the lithium industry's relatively small size.
Chile is closely watching the development of the electric car market. Other companies, such as Li3 Energy Inc, have also been reported as interested in looking for partners in the South American country.
Shares of Chile's SQM SQM_pb.SN, one of the world's biggest producers of lithium, rose in February 2014 when Tesla announced plans to build a large battery plant in the United States.
Codelco and Tesla were not immediately available for comment.
