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]
The Thacker Pass lithium deposit has measured and indicated resources of 13.7 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent, at an average ore grade of 2,231 ppm (0.22%) lithium. [20] The Thacker Pass volcano-sedimentary deposit is the largest known sedimentary lithium resource in the U.S. [ 5 ]
The highlighted portion in red, in southern Arkansas, was found by the U.S. Geological Survey to have high levels of lithium reserves, which are dissolved in ancient, deeply-buried brine from the ...
These proposed lithium mines are located about 80 to 100 miles away from Chimney Rock. Local officials are actively working to reconstruct damaged infrastructure in the town.

A plan to extract lithium — the lustrous, white metal used in electric vehicle batteries — in southeast Utah is adding to an anxiety familiar in the arid American West: how the project could ...
Lithia water is defined as a type of mineral water characterized by the presence of lithium salts (such as the carbonate, chloride, or citrate of lithium). [1] Natural lithia mineral spring waters are rare, and there are few commercially bottled lithia water products.
The Lithium Triangle is believed to contain over 75% of existing known lithium reserves. [114] Deposits are also found in South America throughout the Andes mountain chain. Chile is the leading producer, followed by Argentina. Both countries recover lithium from brine pools.
