It's important to note the difference between the two main sources of lithium. Chile and Bolivia has lithium in the form of brines (mainly Lithium Cloride, high concentration, relatively easy to extract) and ores (pegmatite, hard to extract, as requires mechanical work to grind the rock). the region of the north of Chile, Bolivia and Argentina has the mayority of reserves of the world, following by Afghanistan. Australia has a lot of pegmatite.
