The Sonora Lithium Clay Project is located in Sonora, Mexico and is currently one of the largest lithium resource projects in the world. Its lithium extraction process combines the advantages of ore extraction and salt lake extraction. It can not only complete the lithium extraction process in a short time at a speed similar to that of ore extraction, but also can complete lithium extraction at a lower cost at a cost similar to brine extraction. The project is under construction.
