Details of the discovery of lithium were published by the Ministry of Semitic; Iran’s new card in the world’s mineral resources game

The Ministry of Industry, Mining and Commerce published a report officially published the results of sampling and discovering lithium mineral reserves in Iran.

Given the latest domestic news, the Ministry of Semit has published a one -year scientific sampling results in three provinces of the country in a comprehensive report, with unprecedented details, with unprecedented details. The report systematically examines 46 stations in these three provinces and aims to detect and identify lithium reserves, a key element in the production of lithium batteries and modern technologies.

The project was carried out by experts from the Ministry of Health in collaboration with Russian researchers. The use of advanced technologies, including ICP-OS, has been particularly effective in accuracy and accuracy of the results. ICP-OS technology allows researchers to identify and measure the elements in the samples with high accuracy.

The results of these sampling show the presence of lithium reserves with competitive concentrations worldwide; This means that Iran can become one of the key players in the world market of lithium. Given the rising demand for lithium in the industry of electric batteries and electric cars, the discovery of these reserves can make a huge change in the country’s mineral resources.

Details of sources discovered from lithium minerals in Iran

During the process of lithium discovery, wells were drilled to access subsurface councils in the saltwash of 1 to 2 meters. These samples were consolidated with nitric acid in order to maintain the chemical composition of the samples before transferring to reference laboratories. These samples were analyzed at the Iranian Mineral Processing Research Center and a reputable Russian laboratory.

The present study not only examines the existence of lithium but also targets other elements such as Bar, magnesium and potassium to evaluate the possibility of processing these elements. The results show the hot spots of lithium in Iran; For example, Qom Salt Lake recorded the highest lithium concentration with a value of 1.2 ppm in five sampling stations with a depth of 1.5 meters.

Also, the concentration of 1.2 ppm lithium was identified in the entrance to the potassum plant. In the Taroud area on the border of Semnan province, drilled wells showed a concentration of 1.2 ppm lithium. These findings put Iran in a strategic position to become an important actor in the lithium extraction industry and provide the basis for the development of the processing and value industries of this strategic metal.

A firm step toward self -sufficiency in clean energy

According to the IAEA report (IEA), global demand for lithium will reach a staggering 3.5 million tonnes by year 2. Given the restriction of lithium resources in some parts of the world and concerns about the sustainability of the supply chain, it is important to find new and varied resources. With numerous competitive advantages, Iran can become one of the main actors in the lithium world market. The presence of more than 5 million hectares of salt reserves in the central basins of Iran provides a high potential for extracting lithium from the councils.

With an average of 5 days of solar radiation a year, Iran has the ideal weather conditions for the use of solar evaporation methods in lithium extraction. This method, also known as “green lithium”, is less expensive than traditional methods of extracting hard stone mines and has less environmental effects.

The presence of industrial infrastructure, such as the potassum complex, enables the use of existing lithium processing and production facilities and reduces the initial investment costs. As one of the largest oil and gas producers in the world, Iran has easy access to cheap energy sources that can be used in the process of lithium extraction and processing.

The discovery of lithium reserves in Iran is of particular importance when geopolitical stresses on access to this strategic metal are increasing. Given that most of the world’s lithium production is in the hands of several countries, diversification to the supply chain and reducing dependence on existing resources is one of the top priorities of many countries.

Our country also faces challenges to become a successful actor in the lithium industry. International sanctions can limit Iran’s access to advanced technologies and foreign investment. The existence of legal and regulatory barriers can slow down the investment and development process of projects.

The discovery of lithium reserves in Iran is an exceptional opportunity for economic development and promoting the country’s position in the international arena. With careful planning, proper investment and proper management, Iran can take advantage of this opportunity and become one of the world’s lithium production hubs. It can help sustainable development, employment creation, upgrading new technologies, and active participation in the clean energy chain.
