Arkansas may be sitting on 19 million tons of lithium

Baua Electric

Published in the journal Science Advances , the research said the lithium found in southern Arkansas could make up to 36% to 136% of the current US lithium reserve estimate – of course, that’s a sweeping number, but we get the gist. The researchers announced that it could contain anywhere from 5 million to 19 million tons of lithium. “If
