VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group  -  In the race to secure new supplies of lithium, one country appears to be surging ahead of others in terms of production and export growth, and that country is Argentina. Amid the current lithium boom, Argentina's mining exports are set to reach around $4.5 billion in 2023, amid strong prices and the launch of a new lithium mine. Thanks to ambitious innovation in lithium extraction methods, including Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), plenty of firms are aiming to prove their efforts are working. With analysts projecting that production in Argentina could more than triple by 2030, the country is being primed to become the epicenter of new stage of lithium supply. Among the top stories coming from Argentina's lithium landscape include developments from Lithium South Development Corporation (TSX-V:LIS) (OTCQB:LISMF), Alpha Lithium Corporation (OTCPK:APHLF), Lithium Americas Corp.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group  During a panel led by leaders from the lithium and battery space at the Battery Show North America expressed optimism that North America's domestic lithium supply gap can be eliminated. Acknowledging that just a decade ago, 75% of the world's lithium came from China, Chile, and Australia, moderator James Frith of Volta Energy Technologies predicted that "By 2030" those countries' share of all supply will be less than 50%—thanks to a rapidly advancing EV market, and geopolitical and supply-efficiency pushes for more North American-based lithium supply. Among the ongoing lithium projects on the continent that are making significant advances are those from Usha Resources Ltd. (TSXV:USHA) (OTCQB:USHAF), E3 Lithium Limited (TSXV: ETL) (OTCQX: EEMMF), Allkem Limited (TSX: AKE) (OTCPK: OROCF), Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM), and Lithium Americas Corp.
