LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — The total of Bolivia’s confirmed lithium resources has increased 2 million tons to 23 million tons, the Andean country’s president said Thursday.
The new estimate further cements Bolivia’s position as the country with the world’s biggest known deposits of lithium, which is in high demand for use in batteries.
“We are the largest lithium reserve in the world, and we have to know how to manage it intelligently to exploit and transform this resource,” President Luis Arce said at the Coipasa salt flat, around 280 kilometers (175 miles) south of the capital of La Paz.

The US theoretically has enough lithium in the ground to meet the growing demand. The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the US has 750,000 tonnes of economically recoverable lithium in 2021.May 18, 2022

With each new announcement of increased lithium supplies around the world the price of lithium trends lower.
Last year the USA used 3,000 tons of lithium.
In ten years we may use ten times that much, but it’s likely to be much cheaper.
