Machine Learning Reveals Large Lithium Potential in Smackover Formation
Using a combination of water testing and machine learning, a U.S. Geological Survey-led study estimated between 5 and 19 million tons of lithium reserves are located beneath southwestern Arkansas. If commercially recoverable, the lithium found could meet the projected 2030 global demand for lithium in car batteries nine times over.
