Lithium mineralisation of Sonora project consist in series of lithium-bearing clays occurring in two bedded sequences separated by an ignimbrite sheet. Mineralised intervals within the clay units vary for the upper clay unit from 25% to 80% of the overall thickness, and from 40% to for the lower clay unit.

The good news is that there is plenty of lithium to be mined — here and abroad. Currently the U.S. has substantial reserves — reliable estimates say as much as 10 percent of the world's total reserves, although the exact amount is still unproven — but has only one large-scale mine producing less than 2 percent of the world's lithium ...

The lithium content of ocean water is far lower, hovering around 0.17 parts per million. However, about 20 percent of the lithium in seawater can be recovered using a combination of membranes, filters, and ion-exchange resins. Brine mining is normally a lengthy process that takes anywhere from eight months to three years.

It turns out that taking a closer look at Li-ion cells could be the key to mass adoption of Li-ion recycling in the United States. Unlike lead-acid batteries, which are recycled at a rate of 99%, Li-ion batteries are recycled at a rate of less than 5%. The recovery rate of the critical materials in Li-ion batteries is even less.
