96% of the U.S. lithium sits in NEVADA (Surge is a big part) The Next Gold Rush: Lithium Surge Creates New Investment Opportunities
By ZeroHedge - Apr 03, 2024, 3:00 PM CDT - U.S. lithium projects hold a significant amount of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE), making the country a potential leader in lithium production.
- Current U.S. lithium production is low compared to imports, indicating strong demand for the mineral.
- U.S. lithium companies have the chance to capitalize on the growing demand for lithium and contribute to the transition to sustainable energy sources.
U.S. Lithium Opportunities, By State
U.S. lithium projects mainly exist in western states, with comparatively minor opportunities in central or eastern states.
Currently, the U.S. is sitting on a wealth of lithium that it is underutilizing. For context, in 2022, the U.S. only produced about 5,000 metric tons of LCE and imported a projected 19,000 metric tons of LCE, showing that the demand for the mineral is healthy.
