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.
The Finnis Lithium mine is a lithium mine situated near Darwin in the Northern Territory, Australia. It is being developed by Core Lithium. The ore body was discovered in 2016, and feasibility work was done in 2018–2020 with a firm investment decision made in September 2021. Commercial production began in February 2023 with an 8-year lifespan.

Most lithium mines in Australia are surface mines. [39] The most immediate impact of these mines is the removal of all plants, soil and wildlife on the site of the mine. The mining process generates inhalable and respirable dust particles. [40] Australian lithium extraction has a higher carbon footprint than lithium mining
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
