Description
Environmentalists fear that an endangered plant could go extinct if plans to build a Lithium mine in its rare habitat in Esmeralda County, Nevada continue. But the Australian company ioneer, directing the mining project, said that the mine can be built without threatening the species. The company has received $700 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop the mine for extracting and processing lithium and boron. Locals shared concerns about the mine at a recent public comment hosted with ioneer representatives. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
