Part of the lithium mine in Clayton Valley (Silver Peak). The Li is concentrated from brines that occur in the basin. Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA. Map location, as per usual, is approximate.

Looking north from Peak 9285 in the Palmetto Mtns. The almost-dead town of Silver Peak is invisible near the center of the picture (outlined). The prominent drainage in the flats on the right is Lida Wash. Silver Peak isn't quite a ghost town because the brines in the white flats in Clayton Valley are currently the only US domestic source of lithium, and an active mining operation is taking place.
