may hold a significant amount of lithium within the Smackover Formation in
southwestern Arkansas. Studies estimate there could be between 5 and

lithium in car batteries multiple times over. This discovery has sparked
interest from companies like ExxonMobil and Standard Lithium, who
are exploring ways to extract lithium from the brine deposits.
