Nyob rau hauv cov xwm, nws tsuas yog muaj nyob rau hauv daim ntawv ntawm spodumene, lepidolite thiab bauxite.
Lub ntuj reserves ntawm lithium nyob rau hauv lub crust yog 11 lab tons, thiab cov recoverable reserves yog 4.1 lab tons. Xyoo 2004, lub ntiaj teb lithium mining ntim yog 20200 tons, suav nrog 7990 tons hauv Chile, 3930 tons hauv Australia, 2630 tons hauv Suav teb, 2200 tons hauv Russia thiab 1970 tons hauv Argentina.
Lithium yog lub npe hu ua "tsis tshua muaj hlau". Qhov tseeb, nws cov ntsiab lus nyob rau hauv lub crust tsis yog "tsis tshua muaj". Muaj li ntawm 0.0065 feem pua lithium nyob rau hauv lub crust, nyob rau hauv qeb 27th nyob rau hauv cov nqe lus ntawm nws abundance. Muaj ntau tshaj 150 paub txog lithium bearing minerals, feem ntau suav nrog spodumene, lepidolite, diorite feldspar, thiab lwm yam. Cov ntsiab lus ntawm lithium hauv dej hiav txwv tsis yog me me, nrog rau tag nrho cov cia ntawm 260 billion tons. Hmoov tsis, qhov concentration tsawg dhau, thiab nws nyuaj rau rho tawm. Qee cov dej ntxhia thiab cov nroj tsuag lub cev yog nplua nuj nyob hauv lithium. Piv txwv li, qee cov seaweeds liab thiab daj thiab luam yeeb feem ntau muaj ntau cov lithium compounds rau kev txhim kho thiab siv. Tuam Tshoj yog nplua nuj nyob rau hauv lithium mineral peev xwm. Raws li Tuam Tshoj lithium ntsev tso zis, Jiangxi mica lithium mine ib leeg tuaj yeem siv tau ntau pua xyoo.
