lithium geology


  • What is the geology of lithium ore?

    Lithium is extracted from two main categories of depos- its: minerals and brines. In terms of minerals, currently lithium is extracted only from pegmatite deposits but future sources are likely to include deposits of hectorite and jadarite.
  • How is lithium geologically formed?

    The world's lithium currently comes from two main geological sources: lithium-enriched brines, chiefly in the salt lakes, or salars, of South America; and lithium pegmatites (an unusual type of granitic rock, enriched in a range of rare metals).
  • Where is lithium rock found?

    Where is lithium available from? With 8 million tons, Chile has the world's largest known lithium reserves. This puts the South American country ahead of Australia (2.7 million tons), Argentina (2 million tons) and China (1 million tons). Within Europe, Portugal has smaller quantities of the valuable raw material.
  • Sedimentary rock deposits account for about 8 percent of known global lithium resources, and are found in clay deposits and lacustrine evaporites. Clay deposits — In clay deposits, lithium is found in the mineral smectite. The most common type of smectite is hectorite, which is rich in both magnesium and lithium.
