These are some potential environmental impacts of lithium extraction from the US volcano. 1. Water consumption: The mining process will require large amounts of water to remove clay and leach lithium from the claystone. This could affect the availability and quality of water resources in the region. 2. Acid pollution: The leaching process will use sulfuric acid to extract lithium from the claystone. This could generate acidic wastewater and tailings that could contaminate the soil and groundwater if not properly treated and disposed of. 3. Land disturbance: The mining operation will involve digging up and transporting large volumes of claystone and other materials. This could cause erosion, habitat loss, and landscape alteration in the caldera and surrounding areas. 4. Greenhouse gas emissions: The mining and processing of lithium will consume energy and emit greenhouse gases. This could contribute to global warming and climate change.

We are thrilled to share the impressive legal study and business analysis prepared under the leadership of Carlos Ibarra & Luis Adrián Leuchter Treviño: "Lithium in Latin America: Current Situation and Regulation", showing a comprehensive overview of the regulation of lithium in certain Latin American (LATAM) countries. #lithium #EMA #ElectroMovilidadAsociacion #IbarradelPasoGallego Full Article: https://bit.ly/4bSiT0f

The Lithium Triangle (Argentina, Chile, Bolivia) accounts for 56% of the worlds Lithium deposits. #Argentina provides the most promising case for the expansion of the #Lithiumindustry as it seeks opportunities to expedite its economic recovery. It possesses the world’s second-largest identified lithium resources (behind only Bolivia)"

Top 10 countries with the largest estimated lithium reserves in million tonnes. * Bolivia boasts the world's largest lithium reserves, with an estimated 23 million tonnes, followed by Argentina at 20 million tonnes, and Chile at 19 million tonnes. * These three South American countries are often referred to as the "Lithium Triangle" due to their significant lithium resources. * Other countries with notable lithium reserves include the United States, Australia, China, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. #gainrainfintech #ICICIdirect #interesting #DoYouKnow #ElectricVehicle #EV #Top10 #ElectricVehicles #Bolivia #Argentina #world #Chile #Australia #China #USA #Congo #Canada #Mexico #Czech #UnitedStates

🌍 Strategic Minerals: A Critical Asset for the Caspian Region 🎯 The #Caspianregion, encompassing #CentralAsia, the #SouthCaucasus, and #Ukraine, is rich in #strategicminerals essential for #moderntechnologies and sustainable #economicdevelopment. As the global demand for these minerals surges, this region's vast reserves present a unique opportunity to #diversify #supplychains, reduce #dependency on #dominantsuppliers, and enhance #regional #economicsovereignty. ♻️ Central Asia, in particular, holds significant untapped resources of #rareearthelements and other #criticalminerals. These resources are pivotal for the development of #advancedtechnologies, including #renewableenergy systems, #electricvehicles, and #hightech #industries. By tapping into these reserves, countries in the #Caspianregion can play a crucial role in the #global #supplychain, ensuring a #stable and #secure supply of these #essentialmaterials. 🔗 TETHYS: Trans-Eurasian Gateway is committed to fostering #sustainable and #strategicmineral development in the #Caspianregion. Our initiatives aim to support #localeconomies, promote #responsibleminingpractices, and contribute to the global effort to #secure a #stable #supply of #strategicminerals. By leveraging the region's #mineralwealth, we can drive #economicgrowth, enhance #technologicaladvancements, and support the #greentransition. 🔎 To learn more about the #importance and potential of #strategicminerals in the #Caspianregion, read the detailed analysis by the Caspian Policy Center: 🔗 [Strategic Minerals Explained](https://lnkd.in/eDmt6DCx) #StrategicMinerals #Sustainability #CentralAsia #EconomicSovereignty #Tethys #CaspianRegion #MineralDevelopment #GlobalSupplyChain #RenewableEnergy #TechnologicalAdvancement #ResponsibleMining

In the global race for lithium, which is often dubbed “the white gold,” Bolivia should be one of the winners. The South American country holds the world’s largest reserves at an estimated 23 million tonnes, but a decades-long nationalisation strategy, coupled with economic and political instability, is preventing the industry from taking off. Divisions in the governing party have spiralled over the past few weeks, and they may not be resolved until next year’s election.

The latest from the Globe and Mail's business commentary, by Rita Trichur: Canada’s critical minerals revolution could use some French flair. Increased Franco-Canadian co-operation on critical minerals is a win-win.
