They find the deposit of white gold Bigger in the world in a superbolcano. It should be noted that the “white gold‘Of the 21st century, the lightest metal nickname of the periodic system that is available in the form of mineral in natural salmuelas, oil sources, seawater and geothermal fields.
He has obtained great popularity because it is essential for the development of batteries in the technology industry. For example mobile phones, notebooksexternal batteries and tablets. In addition, its use is used in batteries of hybrid or electric vehicles.
In recent years, lithium extraction has become an essential process for powers. So far, the salinas of Bolivia They have the largest site of white goldWith around 23 million tons.

Is located on the border of the states of Nevada y Oregonin US. A geographical accident with geological conditions that make the presence of rare and expensive minerals such as lithium possible, making the structure Ilita, a clay with a high concentration of lithium.
If expert predictions are good, reservations can save between 24 and 40 million tons white goldexceeding the registered capacity of Bolivian Salinas. Although this news came to light, it was learned about a new method to operate white gold, in which geothermal energy is the key.
The United States has the holy grail of white gold: it even surpasses Bolivia
Another point before the deposit was found in US And is that his methods for extraction of white gold They can be easier than employees in BoliviaExcept less expensive. This is due to the fact that the separation of lithium and clay is more direct, something that could accelerate production and reduce operational costs.
However, this is not the only important discovery of this desired mineral US. Another reserve of 3400 kilotons has been found Salton Sea, California That influences the global market. This scenario is good news USBut also for the rest of the world. Land so far China The market of the white goldSomething that would start to change.
