In Mongolia, research on lithium mineralization has been relatively low, but in recent years companies have started research.
Current studies have found 3 deposits, 7 occurrences and lithium mineralizations associated with pegmatite related silicate ores and sedimentary rocks.
Lithium deposits have three different types and those related with Jurassic sediments, lithium-bearing pegmatite and basic metal bearing greisen and lithium occurrences are related with lithium-bearing pegmatites.
