The Thacker Pass lithium mine is a lithium clay mining development project in Humboldt County, Nevada, which is the largest known lithium deposit in the US and one of the largest in the world, [5] [6] [7] and has the potential to supply up to 25% of the worlds lithium demand. [8]
The Jadar mining project is a proposed mining site. The deposit is one of the largest lithium deposits in the world and also contains boron. It is planned that both lithium and boron will be recovered from the ore. [1] The deposit contains the mineral jadarite, the only occurrence of this mineral in the world.
The Greenbushes mine is the world's largest hard rock lithium mine in terms of reserves, resources, production, and capacity. [5] The facility's operations are made up of the mine and two nearby processing facilities that convert the raw lithium spodumene concentrate into lithium hydroxide before being sold to global battery manufacturers including LG Chem, CATL and Northvolt.
Australia accounted for 52% of global lithium production in 2021 and was the #1 lithium mining country in the world. Chile ranked #2 with its 24.5% share followed by China's 13.2% share.

The mining of cassiterite proved uneconomic and was replaced by the production of spodumene as a source of lithium. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] During World War II, Solvay Process Company operated from May 1942 to February 1945 a flotation plant for production of spodumene concentrate from ore excavated from the Kings Mountain Mine.
The Jiajika mine is one of the largest lithium mines in China. [1] The mine is located in Tagong township, Sichuan province, central China. [1] The Jiajika mine has reserves amounting to 80.5 million tonnes of lithium ore grading 1.28% lithium thus resulting 1.03 million tonnes of lithium. [1]
Chile's Atacama salt flat is sinking at a rate of 1 to 2 centimeters (0.4 to 0.8 inches) per year due to lithium brine extraction, according to a study by the University of Chile. The study used ...
