Lithium is presently being recoered from brines of Searless Lake in California, other deposits in North California (very large deposits in NC), and Nevada

Economic concentrations of lithium are found in brines, minerals and clays in various parts of the world. Brines and high-grade lithium ores are the present source for all commercial lithium production. The largest known deposits of lithium are in Bolivia and Chile.
