The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has formally accepted the Plan of Operations for the Tonopah Flats Lithium Project, a proposed mine and refinery in Nevada. American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) develops the project, which it identifies as one of the nation's largest known lithium resources.
BLM's acceptance signals a step forward in the federal permitting process for the project. ABTC states the development supports domestic critical mineral production and energy security.
The Tonopah Flats project aims to establish a significant source of lithium within the United States. Lithium is a key component in batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.
