Spodumene concentrate
Power Materials
Derived from pegmatite rock, Spodumene is a lithium mineral that is known for its high lithium content. Spodumene was previously the main source of lithium production, but the industry moved away from this source due to lower operating costs when extracting lithium from brines. That being said, the current strong demand for lithium coupled with spodumene’s high lithium content, has led to a resurgence of the exploration for and development of spodumene deposits. Additionally, lithium extraction from spodumene generally has a shorter time from discovery to production in comparison to brine operations.
