Mining, Lithium and Geothermal Energy

In our transition to clean renewable energy lithium will become more valuable. At the moment 95 percent of all lithium comes from pumped brine that evaporates and is then separated using an electrolysis method. The need for more lithium will put pressure on other methods of mining, fortunately, a Vancouver Company MGX minerals have developed a method of extracting Lithium and other minerals from geothermal power plant brine without adversely affecting the temperature of the water.
This technology further enhances our ability to build geothermal power plants to provide clean energy and at the same time extract, the minerals needed to build electric vehicles. In addition to this, the technology could also be used on stand-alone extraction sites, and may convert some existing oil wells to lithium extraction wells.
