Australia, the world’s leading producer, extracts lithium directly from hard rock mines, specifically the mineralspodumene. Chile, along with Argentina, China, and other top producers, extracts lithium from brine. Hard rock provides greater flexibility as lithium hosted in spodumene can be processed...
Stefan Debruyne fromSQMcame to San Diego to discuss the company’s goal of becoming the most sustainable producer of lithium in the world. SQM is one of the largest lithium producers in the world today, primarily via brine evaporation within the enormous Salar de Atacama in Chile. Debruyne n...
Accordingly, demand for lithium hydroxide is on the rise as EV producers increasingly shift to using high-nickel NMC batteries. Our analysis shows demand for lithium hydroxide to be higher than lithium carbonate by 2030 (Exhibit 2). Most of the future battery technologies, which are current...
salt production framework. Yet, ALB isn’t the sole player in this vast industry. Major lithium producers, including SQM, Tianqi Lithium, Ganfeng Lithium, Yahua Industrial, Chengxin Lithium, and Livent, are fervently ramping up their production capabilities in lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide...

In Europe, lithium is found in Portugal (60 kt) and the north of the Czech Republic (1.5 kt) [6]. The largest lithium deposit in Europe is the Adriatic in Serbia (125 kt). The annual lithium production in 2020 was 82.2 kt. The largest producers are Australia (40 kt), Chile (18 ...
Lithium minerals containing lithia (Li2O), such as spodumene, petalite and lepidolite, are mined from open-cut and underground mines, with the largest producers being Australia, China, Zimbabwe and Canada. Lithium-rich brines from salt lakes are located in the Andes of Chile and Argentina and ...
Given the current status of lithium production and the abundance of lithium reserves, it seems likely that Australia and Chile will remain the world’s largest lithium producers for the foreseeable future. Should you invest in lithium stocks?
Latin America’s leading producers While the lithium triangle boasts substantial reserves, production figures are higher in countries that have fully developed their upstream sectors. Australia was the world’s largest lithium producer in 2022, at 61,000 tonnes – or 46.9% of the global total ...
