Lithium is a soft, silvery alkali metal that, in its pure form, is so reactive and flammable it has to be stored either in a vacuum or an inert gas like argon or an inert liquid like mineral oil.
The mine has the largest known deposit of pollucite and is also the world's largest producer of caesium. The mine has the largest tantalum reserves in Canada having estimated reserves of 2.1 million tonnes of ore grading 0.22% tantalum. The mine also has additional reserves amounting to 7.3 million tonnes of ore grading 2.76% lithium. [3]
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. [19] The Thacker Pass volcano-sedimentary deposit is the largest known sedimentary lithium resource in the U.S. [ 5 ]
