Older lithium mines helping America to achieve its alternative energy independence

Gene Morgan, co-founder and CEO of Zelandez, is featured in an exclusive article in this month's issue of North American Mining. Gene's article details how older lithium mines can help the United States achieve alternative energy independence. Gene discusses how older processes and technologies used in lithium mines should be avoided. He also explains why there should be greater adoption of newer technologies and processes, such as direct lithium extraction, that will help increase lithium production and modernize aging U.S. lithium mines. It also addresses the importance of monitoring brine and freshwater levels to verify that brine pumping is not adversely affecting water systems. Finally, the article also addresses the critical importance of human capital in the lithium mining sector. With the growth in demand for lithium-dependent energy sources, especially electric vehicles, this is a very relevant article.
