Lithium, a critical component in the rapidly growing technology and clean energy sectors, has become one of the world's most sought-after minerals. According to the US Geological Survey, the world's most significant reserves are located in the "Lithium Triangle" of South America, which includes Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile. Other notable reserves are found in Australia (7.9 million tonnes), China (6.8 million tonnes), and the US (12 million tonnes).The most important African players on the lithium market are DR Congo, Zimbabwe, Mali, and Namibia. Sputnik Africa presents an infographic to illustrate the rating of lithium reserves.

Where Are the World's Largest Lithium Reserves Located?
Lithium is primarily used in the production of rechargeable batteries, which power devices like smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage systems. Its importance lies in its high energy density and long cycle life, making it essential to modern technology and the transition to cleaner energy solutions.
Lithium, a critical component in the rapidly growing technology and clean energy sectors, has become one of the world's most sought-after minerals. According to the US Geological Survey, the world's most significant reserves are located in the "Lithium Triangle" of South America, which includes Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile.
Other notable reserves are found in Australia (7.9 million tonnes), China (6.8 million tonnes), and the US (12 million tonnes).
The most important African players on the lithium market are DR Congo, Zimbabwe, Mali, and Namibia.
The DR Congo boasts substantial lithium deposits with reserves of
3 million tonnes, alongside its well-known cobalt resources.
Mali's Bougouni project is rapidly gaining attention, and the country has
0.84 million tonnes of lithium reserves.
Zimbabwe's Bikita Mine is one of the world's oldest and most significant lithium producers, and the country has
0.69 million tonnes of reserves.
Namibia concludes the African ranking with
0.23 million tonnes of lithium reserves.
