    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brine_mining

    Lithium mining from geothermal boreholes is a groving project in Europe. Potential sites are Cornwall (UK), [16] Rhine Graben (France, Germany) [24] and Cesano (Italy). [25] All these sites have a lithium concentration of 200 mg/L or higher. Origin is due to interaction with mica minerals in the granite and/or in the rocks of the local basement.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation_pond

    Salt evaporation ponds produce salt from seawater. [4] Evaporation ponds are used to extract lithium from underground brine solution. The extracted Lithium is then used to make ion batteries. [5] [3] Mines use them to separate ore from water. The ore can be sold for use in different industries.

    There is some capacity to convert the carbonate to lithium hydroxide in Salar de Carmen. 2019 revenues from lithium were $505mio. [13] In 2021, the lithium revenues were US$936.1 million. [15] The process involves pumping up lithium rich brine from below the ground into shallow pans. Water is evaporated thanks to the strong sun and dry air. [16]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salar_de_Atacama

    Lithium concetrations in the brines of the Salar de Atacama vary with geographical position and depth. [17] The brines distanced from the northern and eastern rims of the salt flat —that is the "core" (Spanish: núcleo del salar)— have the highest lithium concentration of any salt flat in the Lithium Triangle.
