Europe: Lithium Mineral System Analysis

The growing global demand for lithium to support the energy transition led to SRK working with Albemarle Corp. in 2023/2024 to identify new deposits through generative exploration. SRK used a mineral system approach to identify and map the key processes instrumental in the formation of hard rock lithium deposits. Knowledge-led and machine learning techniques were used to map relative potential and absolute prospectivity for these deposits across the globe at 
400 km² cell size to generate regional targets, and then at 1 km² resolution across the most prospective provinces. The client then used absolute prospectivity outputs to prioritise projects/companies for acquisition.
