Around Indian Country
Lithium deposit found at sacred site
Scientists have found the
world’s largest lithium deposit in
an ancient supervolcano along the
Nevada-Oregon border.
The scientists announced they
found Clay containing up to 40
million metric tons of the precious
metal was identified throughout
the 28-mile-long McDer mitt
Caldera. That is nearly double what
has been found in Bolivia’s salt
flats that have long held the record
for the most lithium deposits.
As of 2022, the average bat-
tery-grade lithium carbonate price
was $37,000 per metric ton, mean-
ing the volcano is potentially sit-
ting on $1.48 trillion worth of the
precious metal.
Canada-based Lithium Ameri-
cas Corporation plans to begin min-
ing as early as 2026, mine the re-
gion for the next 40 years, and
then backfill the pit. However, the
plan has been criticized due to the
environmental impact of mining
and claims that the site is on sa-
cred Native American land.
Lithium is a critical component
for batteries that power everything
from smartphones to electric ve-
hicles and solar panels - and China
has dominated the market for de-
cades because 90 percent of the
metal mined is refined in the na-
tion.
