Lithium is a fairly abundant element. But it is one of the most reactive metal elements on the periodic table. You'll never find a seam of Lithium like you might find a seam of Gold in nature. Lithium is always found in an oxidised state, usually as a salt, bound with another element. The Mining of Lithium is totally predicated on what it has bound to, and what process you can use to refine it. I'm West Australian. By some measures we have the worlds largest Lithium mine here, but that mine is extracting Lithium from a very tough, unweathered rock, and we do a lot of that around here. Like Chile and the Salton Sea, we also have Lithium in dried salt lakes, but that takes large amounts of water to process, and we're so short of water we drink desalinated sea water. - So we don't process that Lithium, it's not economical here. There is also a trillion tons of Lithium in Sea Water, but it is presently uneconomic to try and extract that. Lithium's not that hard to find, it's the processing and extraction that costs money and materials. Lithium exists around the world about as commonly as Chlorine. The Rare Earth Metals you hear about that are short on supply are heavy metals like Neodymium and Dysprosium that are metals nearly as heavy as Lead that can be magnetised and used in electric motors. Cobalt is a lighter metal that is also rare, and it's useful as an anode in batteries. Fun Fact - Lithium burns a brilliant Scarlet Colour, and has been used to make Red Fireworks for a thousand years.

But we failed to train the current generations on the skills needed for such things and now we will have to slowly relearn. I pray there is the political will to continue these investments when inevitably problems arise and costs balloon. This is unavoidable at first but with enough funds and time we can regain our position as world class builders.

Well the current federal and state mining regulations do a pretty good job of that in the US now. We have come a long way even in the last 10 years. REE’s have the unique problem of being attached to radioactive thorium in the monazite type ore minerals. Processing this is one of the bigger issues and, no this thorium will not be used in the far flung thorium reactor that everyone mentions when I bring this up. Mountain Pass is already mining in Cali, but sending their ore to China for processing. So we need to figure out the refining process locally and where to store the Th mine waste.

So on the Thacker pass website they state the project will be an open pit mine, not the typical brine extraction you see in other parts of Nevada and Chile. Brine extraction doesn’t produce much waste water, it’s mostly an evaporation process. The waste water in this situation would come from the processing side where they need tailings dams. But with modern environment regulations and such a dry environment there, waste water is mitigated considerably.

It may be challenging for Western perspectives to fully grasp the extent of China's advancement in various fields, particularly given the tendency in Western media to ridicule phenomena like China's seemingly empty cities and subway systems. However, it's crucial to recognize that China operates with a fundamentally different mindset compared to North America. Chinese planning often extends decades, if not generations, into the future, a stark contrast to the shorter-term planning typical in the West. As America endeavors to catch up, it's worth acknowledging that the pace of innovation and development in China, exemplified by companies like BYD, is formidable. The emergence of groundbreaking technologies, such as advancements in battery power, underscores the depth of China's research and innovation capabilities. Dismissing China as merely a copycat neglects the significant strides it has made in original research and innovation. Moreover, it's essential to contextualize China's historical economic significance. For millennia, China and other Oriental civilizations have played a central role in the global economy, accounting for a substantial portion of the world's GDP. Even during periods of relative isolation, such as the opium-smoking era, China's economic influence was profound. Drawing comparisons to contemporary issues in the West, such as the opioid crisis in Canada, highlights the complexity of societal challenges faced by different regions. By recognizing China's historical contributions and its contemporary achievements, Western perspectives can more accurately appreciate the depth and breadth of China's influence on the world stage.

The mine in Nevada has been approved.

The three litigating tribes - Summit Lake Paiute Tribe, Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, and Burns Paiute Tribe - refer to Thacker Pass as "Peehee mu'huh" which translates to "rotten moon" in honor of their ancestors who were massacred by the U.S. Cavalry in 1865 in an area of the pass shaped like a moon.
