• Clayton Valley hosts North America’s only Lithium

Production, Albemarle's (Rockwood) Lithium Mine and

Processing Plant in Silver Peak, in Esmeralda County,

Nevada

• The Mine produces lithium from Clayton Valley basin

brines, pumped from depth to surface and allowed to

evaporate in the Nevada high desert environment

• Lithium brines have been known to exist in this

location since their discovery in the 1960s
