VANCOUVER, BC, May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group – Even though prices are currently down from where they were in 2022, experts still see the monumental importance of lithium in the years and decades ahead. According to a recent post, the UN Trade & Development (UNCTAD) projects based on data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) that by 2050, lithium demand could rise by over 1,500%. UCTAD also believes that to achieve the global 2030 net-zero emission targets, the lithium mining industry will need 70 new mines. Seeking to provide the critical minerals necessary for the green electric revolution, lithium miners continue to develop several promising new projects, including Lithium South Development Corporation (TSXV:LIS) (OTC:LISMF), Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp. (NYSE:LAAC), Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ:ATLX), Standard Lithium Ltd. (NYSE-American: SLI) (TSXV: SLI), and Rio Tinto Group (NYSE:RIO).

Key Points: 
  • According to a recent post , the UN Trade & Development (UNCTAD) projects based on data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) that by 2050, lithium demand could rise by over 1,500%.
  • UCTAD also believes that to achieve the global 2030 net-zero emission targets, the lithium mining industry will need 70 new mines.
  • The purified, concentrated lithium solution will subsequently be converted into technical-grade lithium carbonate.
  • "The hard work of our Rincon team is laying the groundwork for our first lithium production by year's end," said Stausholm.
