17, 2021 &#8211;</B> Sociedad Qu&iacute;mica y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) (NYSE: SQM; Santiago Stock Exchange: SQM-B, SQM-A) informs
that the board approved the investment in the Mt. Holland lithium project in Western Australia (the &#8220;Project&#8221;). The
Project is a 50/50 joint venture with our partner Wesfarmers Limited. Based on the information provided in the Updated Definitive
Feasibility Study (the &#8220;UDFS&#8221;), SQM&#8217;s share of investment in the Project is expected to reach approximately US$700
million<SUP>1</SUP> between 2021-2025.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10.95pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The UDFS confirms an expected
initial production capacity of 50,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide battery grade with first production coming online during
the second half of 2024 if all necessary permits are received as anticipated. We plan to purchase the main long-lead items and
for construction to begin during the second half of 2021. We believe we are one of the lowest-cost producers of lithium and anticipate
this Project will also be competitively positioned on the cost-curve.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10.95pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Some of the equipment at this
stage considers a higher capacity which would potentially allow us to expand the mining and refining production further at a future
date. The preliminary work to evaluate these expansion options will commence in parallel with the construction of the first phase
of the project.</P>

&#8220;We are pleased with the decision that was made by the board today and look forward to continue working with our partner
Wesfarmers to develop this project. To date, the partnership with Wesfarmers has proven to be very positive as a result of their
significant local infrastructure and strong technical capabilities and experience coupled with our over 25 years of comprehensive
technical and commercial experience in the lithium industry.&#8221;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10.95pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">He added, &#8220;There are
strong fundamentals behind the long-term demand growth in the lithium industry, and we believe the commencement of the production
of this Project is well aligned with future demand expectations. We expect the lithium industry will continue to grow at a rate
of about 20% per year in the long-term. In other words, the market could reach 800,000 to 1 million metric tons by 2025. Our preliminary
estimates show that total global lithium demand in 2030 could reach over 2 million metric tons.&#8221;</P>

successful development of this project.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10.95pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Forward-looking statements
are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are estimates that reflect the best judgment of
SQM management based on currently available information. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they involve
a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially
from those stated in such statements, including our ability to successfully implement the Sustainable Development Plan. Therefore,
you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Readers are referred to the documents filed by SQM with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the most recent annual report on Form 20-F, which identifies other important
risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements are based on information available to SQM on the date hereof and SQM assumes no obligation to update such statements,
whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.</P>
