Other deposits in the caldera contain ores of antimony, cesium, and lithium [11] [12] (potentially, one of the biggest mines in the world). [13] The Thacker Pass lithium deposit, located within the caldera, is a prospect that in 2017 was said to be the most significant lithium-clay resource in the U.S. [14]

In addition to the lithium and boron deposits, Rhyolite Ridge is home to the Tiehm's buckwheat flower, which is found nowhere else on the planet and was declared an endangered species in 2022.
The Valley also contains a playa with a lithium deposit which is "one of the 10 largest in the world and the largest in North America, with salt deposits 2,000 feet thick." [9] NASA has used the flat ground for calibrating satellite geodesy, space-based radar, and height measurements, since the 1990s.
Federal wildlife officials have agreed to conduct a full, year-long review to determine whether a tiny snail found only in high-desert springs near a huge lithium mine being built along the Nevada ...
