Study suggests untapped lithium deposits beneath China's battery heartland

A new study posits that ancient volcanic activity may have created significant lithium deposits in East and South China, potentially under existing battery manufacturing hubs. If confirmed, this could reduce China's reliance on imported lithium and further entrench its dominance in the battery supply chain. The claim is based on geological modeling and remains unverified by drilling.
