Products| Lithium, boron

The Jadar mining project is a proposed mining site. The deposit is one of the largest lithium deposits in the world and also contains boron. It is planned that both lithium and boron will be recovered from the ore. [1] The deposit contains the mineral jadarite, the only occurrence of this mineral in the world. The mine is located in western Serbia in Mačva District. [2] The Jadar mine has reserves amounting to 118 million tonnes of ore grading 1.8% lithium oxide [2] The deposit was discovered in 2004 and in 2017 the Rio Tinto Group planned to start mining operations in 2023.[3]

Serbian government revoked licences for the Jadar project in January 2022 after massive environmental protests. In January 2024 Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that the government wants to hold further talks with Rio Tinto and that there should be more public discussion over whether the project should go ahead. If completed, the project could supply 90% of Europe's current lithium needs and help to make Rio Tinto a leading lithium producer.[4]
