Mineral resources differ from mineral reserves. Mineral resources can be defined as natural concentrations of minerals or, in the case of aggregates, bodies of rock that are, or may become, of economic interest due to their inherent properties. The mineral must also be present in sufficient quantity to make it of intrinsic economic interest.
As of 2025, the world's total lithium resources were estimated at some *** million metric tons of lithium content. The United States and Argentina boasted the largest resources that year, with ** million and ** million metric tons, respectively. Bolivia ranked third that year, with ** million metric tons of lithium content.
