Lithium deposits are natural accumulations of lithium-rich minerals found in the Earth's crust. These deposits can be located in hard rock formations, such as pegmatites, or in brine pools, where lithium is dissolved in saltwater. The most common lithium-bearing minerals include spodumene and lepidolite. Lithium is a crucial component in the production of batteries, particularly for electric vehicles and portable electronics. As demand for lithium-ion batteries increases, the exploration and extraction of lithium deposits have become more important for supporting renewable energy technologies and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
