Nevada Lithium Clays
Lithium bearing clay from the Esmeralda Formation, Clayton Valley, Nevada.
Prometheus Project
Sedimentary (clay) lithium deposits are formed from volcanic eruptions that deposit lithium-bearing volcanic glass and ash (tuffs), which is gradually eroded and leached over time to create a lithium-bearing clay, called smectite.
