Italy

The Big Sandy lithium project, or Big Sandy lithium mine, is a planned lithium mining project located near the Hualapai tribe's Cholla Canyon Ranch and the Cofer Hot Springs, near Wikieup in the Big Sandy River Valley, Arizona, U.S. The project is owned by Arizona Lithium and, since 2022, has been d

eveloped in partnership with the Navajo Nation mining company, Navajo Transitional Energy Company. The Hualapai tribe has been critical of the Bureau of Land Management's environmental assessment of the project, protesting that the mine would destroy their sacred and cultural sites.
