5 largest lithium-producing countries in the world were:br br 1. Australia: br Australia has consistently been the largest lithium producer globally. The Greenbushes lithium mine in Western Australia is one of the world's largest and most significant lithium deposits.br br 2. Chile: br Chile possesses vast reserves of lithium, mainly located in the Salar de Atacama. The country's lithium production primarily comes from brine operations, where lithium-rich brine is extracted from salt flats and evaporated to obtain lithium carbonate.br br 3. China: br China has been rapidly increasing its lithium production, both from domestic sources and through investments in lithium projects abroad. The country's lithium production comes from both lithium-rich brines and hard rock mining.br br 4. Argentina: br Argentina's lithium production is centered in the Andes Mountains, particularly in the Salinas Grandes and Hombre Muerto salt flats. Similar to Chile, Argentina's lithium production is mainly brine-based.br 5. Zimbabwe: br Zimbabwe has been expanding its lithium production, driven by the Arcadia Lithium Project. The country's lithium resources are found in pegmatite deposits, a type of hard rock mineralization.
