Lithium: mineral system, exploration methods and assessment
LIGG-EN-P
Who should attend?
Lithium is a well-known element which has become a key component in battery industry and renewable energies technologies today. Although Lithium from mine is involving classic mining industry process, geothermal Lithium is crystallizing an increased interest. This training will present the Lithium mineral and its specificities and focus on the work-in-progress G&G workflow and further valorization.
Public :
