14.12.2020The majority of lithium is extracted from underground brine deposits. While rock mines for lithium exist, costs of hard rock mining are typically higher than extraction from brine. In order to extract the mineral from underground deposits, companies dig down to the groundwater level and pump the brine to the surface.

15-04-2021Lithium Extraction and Processing Hard rock lithium deposits are generally mined by the open pit method. Blocks of mineralized pegmatite are crushed, milled, and then sent to flotation cells, where ore minerals are separated. At about a concentration of 5-7% LiO 2, ore is sent to a plant to be chemically processed to produce lithium carbonate.
