If the US is serious about developing domestic sources Rhyolite Ridge and Thacker Pass are critically important, based on their nearly complete permitting process. To my knowledge there aren't any other Lithium projects in the US at the scale of these and at the end of permitting. ALB's King Mountain project is in the permitting stage, and PLL's open pit mine in NC is up against substantial opposition with no end in sight. The Salton Sea offers a tantalizing opportunity, but the technology hurdles seem to be substantial putting any commercial mining into the future. Bottom line, we need Rhyolite Ridge and Thacker Pass.
