Excellent @goldschmidt2021 session this morning on critical raw materials for the energy transition, especially on #lithium. Lots for researchers to do in understanding mineralogy, alteration & fluid sources in lithium resources. We're working on it through @Li4FutureTech!

@RNArmstrong1 @Li4FutureTech Already out of date given @RioTinto are extracting lithium from their Boron mine in California? Also perhaps they mean the fact that the lithium in some of the clays are derived from rhyolites etc?
