Abstract
Lithium has a bright future in Australia. Although future global demand for lithium is difficult to forecast, most projections are for increasingly positive trends. Certainly the progression of increasing consumption since 2000 points to comparable or greater demand into the future. The primary growth in demand has been driven by the use of lithium in rechargeable batteries, not only for electronic devices but also for electric vehicles and storage of renewable and other energies. Australia is well place to meet this demand, with hard rock pegmatite-hosted lithium resources, all in Western Australia. These include the producing giant Greenbushes Mine, and other deposits with significant lithium resources.
