- Nevada-Oregon caldera hosts lithium clay estimated at 20-40 million tons
- Lithium discovery could reach $1.5 trillion at current market prices
- Quadruple-layered sediment and hydrothermal activity enriched clay with lithium elements
A research team has identified a large concentration of lithium-rich clay within the McDermitt Caldera, a collapsed supervolcano along the Nevada–Oregon border.
