This is a list of countries by lithium mine production from 2018 onwards. [1]
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 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.
The privately owned company holds the world’s largest-known deposit of lithium at approximately 11 million tonnes. [1] The mine is located in southern Zimbabwe in Masvingo Province. [1] The Bikita mine has reserves amounting to 10.8 million tonnes of lithium ore grading 1.4% lithium thus resulting 0.15 million tonnes of lithium. [1]
Australia has one of the biggest lithium reserves [1] and is the biggest producer of lithium by weight, [2] with most of its production coming from mines in Western Australia. Most Australian lithium is produced from hard-rock spodumene , [ 3 ] in contrast to other major producers like Argentina, Chile and China, which produce it mainly from ...
The project is known to be the largest lithium spodumene hard rock deposit in the world, larger than the Greenbushes spodumene hard rock deposit in Western Australia. In 2021, AVZ agreed to sell a 24% stake in the venture to the Chinese battery manufacturer CATL for $240 million. [6]
The Vishnyakovskoe mine is one of the largest lithium mines in Russia. [1] The mine is located in southern Russia in Irkutsk Oblast. [1] The Vishnyakovskoe mine has reserves amounting to 42 million tonnes of lithium ore grading 0.49% lithium thus resulting 0.2 million tonnes of lithium. [1]
