Stating that the importance of this mine is increasing day by day, especially due to the development of battery technology and the rapid growth of the market, Maraşlıoğlu said, "Unfortunately, there is no lithium resource with a known economic value in our country. When we look at recent years, 1000-1200 tons of lithium and its compounds enter our country. welcome. " said

Derya Maraşlıoğlu, stating that boron products are manufactured at Eti Mining Facilities and that liquid and solid wastes are produced during production, said:

“We found lithium compound in our boron waste. We have produced lithium carbonate that can be used in the battery in the laboratory environment since the beginning of 2019. We designed the pilot plant where lithium carbonate is produced with the support of Fatih Dönmez, our Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, within the scope of the national energy and mining policy.

After a short work will start investing for the actual facility. Our goal is to produce a portion of the meeting lithium compound through import in our country and meet We are currently aiming to establish a lithium carbonate facility with a capacity of 600 tons per year. " said.
