The Way Forward
With Lithium

Lithium, with an atomic number three (after hydrogen and helium) is the lightest solid element in the universe. It is an exceptional conductor of heat and electricity and these properties together with its light weight, contribute towards it being ideal for use in modern batteries. The long-term prospects for lithium are very strong, driven primarily by the expected growth in demand for lithium batteries for electric vehicles and a more sustainable way of living. White Plains lithium brine project (Utah, United States) in particular is recognised as being particularly attractive since there is the potential for significant quantities of lithium brine mineralisation at White Plains.
