CANBERRA – Australia has taken over Chile as the world’s largest lithium producing nation boosted mainly by record output at two major mines, according to data from United States Geological Survey (USGS).
Down Under produced 18,700 tonnes of lithium in 2017, according to the USGS, thanks mainly to Western Australia-based mines — Galaxy Resources’ Mt Cattlin and Mt Marion, owned by Neometals and China’s Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium.
