Another type of mining exploration has popped up in the Black Hills – exploration for lithium. Lithium is used for batteries, as you are probably aware. There is a lithium rush right now, because the Biden Administration has prioritized mining for materials that are used in renewable energy and electric vehicles.

United Lithium Corp., a Canadian company, has staked over 500 claims (about 10,000 acres) in an area south of Custer and along Highways 16 and 385 that it has branded its “Liberty” project. The area is scenic and includes homes interspersed with US Forest Service-controlled lands. The company’s claims map is attached (we included some road names). According to the Secretary of State’s website, United Lithium is not registered to do business in South Dakota.
