Cruz-Uribe speaks with Associated Press about lithium sources in Maine
Alicia Cruz-Uribe, associate professor of petrology and mineralogy at University of Maine, spoke with the Associated Press about the possibility of quarrying for lithium at Plumbago Mountain in western Maine. Cruz-Uribe said that the country’s lithium reserves rank among the largest in the world, but “the amount that we produce is peanuts.” The Bangor Daily News, Sun Journal, Fortune, Yahoo News, U.S. News and World Report, ABC News, the Independent and multiple outlets internationally shared the AP report.
