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 ] There has been significant exploration of Thacker Pass since 2007.
Rhyolite Ridge is the only known lithium-boron deposit in North America and one of only two known such deposits in the world. There is currently only one lithium producing mine in the U.S ...
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.
It’s unique because it includes a chemical processing facility that will process the lithium on-site instead of having to ship it to China, then back to the U.S. Worldwide demand for lithium is projected to have grown six times by 2030 compared to 2020. The biggest producer of lithium in the world is China, which processes most lithium currently.
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.
