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.
