Guess What Ukraine Has That Russia - And Especially China - Might Want A Lock On?
Yes, fossil fuels, but also lithium...
“Ukrainenu has previously written about the vast rare minerals in Ukraine as the U.S and China are increasingly fighting over access to these important resources such as lithium and titanium. They are important for the green energy transition and several other sectors, where lithium, for example, is used in batteries.
Ukraine is not one of the world’s largest producers of rare minerals but holds large untapped concentrations of rare minerals in the subsoil. The site Mining World points out that the only problem is that Ukraine is not doing anything to extract them and that the country needs investments from outside.
“Ukraine’s subsurface resources include a concentration of around a hundred types of minerals, the market value of which is estimated by experts to reach $7.5 trillion USD. In total, Ukraine’s mineral resource base is formed of 20,000 deposits and ore manifestations, of which 7,800 are explored, and only 3,300 are being developed,” writes Mining World, “Ukraine harbors significant reserves of non-ferrous and rare-earth metals including unique deposits of beryllium, zirconium, tantalum, and a complex of phosphoric rare-earth and rare-metal ores.”
“Ukraine’s confirmed reserves of lithium are the largest in Europe. The country also has a real opportunity to enter the global market with pure and ultra-pure metals such as gallium, indium, thallium, lead, and tin,” the site points out.
World Data Center’s National Atlas of Ukraine also points out that the Ukrainian resources of rare minerals are unique and the largest in Europe.
“Ukraine is a rare-metal province: the recoverable rare-metal resources are the biggest in Europe. The most important is the Ukrainian shield with its 22 rare-metal formations. The most unique and large are such deposits: Perha of beryllium; Azov of zirconium and rare-earth series; Polokhivka, Stankuvate, and Shevchenko of lithium; Mazurivka of tantalum-niobium-zirconium ores,” the site points out.“ https://ukrainenu.com/chinese-company-wants-to-mine-lithium-in-ukraine/
The WEF is trying mightily to take control of the world's resources. Is it any wonder that they're after this as well?
If you want lithium, you need not look further than than Maine. But it's untouchable.
