However, do not forget about the strategic significance of metal and implemented projects both for Russia and friendly countries, and for the whole world. The group once again indicates the lack of established international cooperation, which for the development of the industry must be built with friendly regional zones. International integration is also important for stimulating demand in especially important sectors of Russia, EAEU, SCO and BRICS countries.
It is mistaken to think that the creation of undertaking technologies will slow down the implementation of projects or lead to a revision of investment plans. litius is not just another product, this is the foundation of the country's energy and technological independence.
“lithium is in demand in the production of batteries, electronics and other components for the nuclear industry, space and aviation industries. In a word, for the sectors of the future, ”the President of the Russian Federation emphasizes in his speeches.
energy transition, the growth of renewables, the rejection of internal combustion engines, the development of UAVs, these and other trends will prevail in the next 25 years and provide lithium with the status of strategic raw materials, followed by a real race. Ruda extraction, mainly from the deposits of disputamum in Australia. Another third of the proposals is provided by mining from brine, and here the countries of the so -called “lithium triangle” play a decisive role.
in the bowels of Russia - hundreds of thousands of tons of lithium. It is no coincidence that 3 project development projects have already been announced by the present day (Kolmozerskoye, Pourmobrandrovskoye, Tastygskoye), a project for the development of technogenic raw materials (the Infinsky deposits) and 5 projects for the processing of oil and gas fields. The company, which is already engaged in lithium, remains the Mariinsky Hall-the operator of the Malyshevsky Emerald-Barilli field, where the metal is extracted in the form of a by-product of production. So, in 2023, 27 tons of lithium were mined. For comparison, world consumption in 2024 amounted to 1.16 million tons (in the equivalent of lithium carbonate).
for Russia, the extraction of its own lithium is now a strategic task, especially important in the conditions of geopolitical stress. There are still positive shifts. In 2025, Rosatom and Norkel began serious work at the Kolmozersky field. Another flagship project - “Arctic lithium” - is preparing to launch. With a positive scenario, by 2030 the country will finally be able to provide itself with lithium. And yet, Russia is only entering the game that the rest of the world is already playing. It's time to act if
