The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approved the expansion of the Silver Peak lithium mine near Silver Peak in Esmeralda County, NV.
The authorization will allow the mine to operate on 8,058 total acres, including 1,601 public acres.
“The mine has been in operation since 1965 and is currently the only producing lithium mine in the United States,” BLM said. “The expansion allows for use of new technologies expected to increase lithium recovery by up to 100% from the same amount of raw materials.”
