Brine operations, mostly in Chile and Argentina, generate about 75% of worldwide production. Color variations in the ponds are due to varying concentrations of lithium in the water; lighter blue ponds have higher concentrations of lithium. The mine pumps brine to the surface and shunts it into a series of shallow evaporation ponds.
