Construction for the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project could start as soon as next year, while production would begin in 2028, according to Ioneer’s scheduling estimates.
In the works for six years, construction of the Rhyolite Ridge mine should start next year in the high desert halfway between Reno and Las Vegas, the Australia-based Ioneer said. Production is scheduled to begin in 2028 at the mine, which should produce enough lithium for 370,000 vehicles annually for more than two decades, officials said.
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 Bureau of Land Management released more than 2,000 pages of documents in a draft environmental impact statement last week for the Rhyolite Ridge mine. Lithium is a metal key to the manufacture ...
The Center for Biological Diversity promised the court battle a week ago when the U.S. Interior Department approved Ioneer Ltd.’s Rhyolite Ridge lithium-boron mine at the only place Tiehm's buckwheat is known to exist in the world, near the California line halfway between Reno and Las Vegas.
Ioneer is developing the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project. Rhyolite Ridge [ 6 ] is a large, shallow lithium-boron deposit located close to existing infrastructure in Esmeralda County, Nevada . [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Rhyolite Ridge is the only known deposit in North America (and one of two globally) with commercial amounts of high-grade lithium and boron.
