The Kolmozerskoye lithium deposit in the Murmansk Region is considered Russia’s largest (18.9% of domestic reserves, 75 million tonnes) and the most promising for development.
Rosatom and Nornickel are jointly interested in developing the deposit. In April 2022 the companies signed an agreement on joint projects to develop lithium production.
At present lithium, a key element for batteries (including electric vehicles), is not mined in Russia.
