The potential volume of lithium carbonate equivalent within the United States amounted to 94.8 million metric tons. Of the various lithium projects, McDermitt Caldera had the highest lithium extraction potential, with more than 21 million metric tons.
Potential volume of lithium carbonate equivalent in the United States, by project
(in million metric tons)
The measure of a lithium mine’s potential is the quantity that can be extracted from the source.
For each lithium resource, the potential volume of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) was calculated with a ratio of one metric ton of lithium producing 5.32 metric tons of LCE.
