The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has hit a jackpot of massive lithium deposits buried deep beneath southwestern Arkansas, U.S.
The study suggests that the region could support 5 to 19 million tons of lithium. This discovery could significantly reduce the U.S.’s reliance on imports.
Lithium is a crucial component in EV batteries and demand for it is expected to increase rapidly as more people adopt electric cars.
