The Lithium Legacy

"Dr Kunasz was one of my first industry contacts. His extensive background in lithium minerals and brines, combined with a ready willingness to engage with the global minerals community, share opinion, and foster long-term friendships with ease in the industry over the years, has maintained his standing as the ‘go to’ guy on lithium. I cannot think of a better qualified world expert to do so, and market players, whether new entrants or old hands, will be thankful for this rich source of essential lithium information provided by him in this book.”

~Mike O’Driscoll, IMFORMED Industrial Mineral Forums & Research Ltd., UK

“Dr Kunasz is a leading and renowned authority on lithium. His manyfold expertise and competence has sent him across the entire globe visiting and evaluating practically all major pegmatite and brine deposits. This book summarizes all geochemical, mineralogical, geological, and economic aspects of lithium deposits and will be the standard monograph on lithium to date.”

~Hon.-Prof. Dr Richard Göd, University of Vienna, Austria

“As chief geologist with Foote Mineral Company, Dr Kunasz conducted the first detailed evaluation of the lithium brine at the Salar de Atacama. As managing director of the Mixed Salt Committee of the Chilean development agency, responsible for the development of the chemical industry of Northern Chile, including the Salar de Atacama, I believe that Dr Kunasz is eminently qualified to compile such a comprehensive treatise on lithium.”

~Pedro Pavlovic, Production Development Corporation (CORFO), Chile

“Affectionately known in the mining industry as ‘Mr Lithium’, Dr Kunasz provides an all-inclusive treatment of lithium in this book, from its discovery to its crucial role in establishing a sustainable and clean energy future—a must-read for anyone interested in the role minerals play in human civilization.”
