Abstract
Rare metals are an important component of Ukraine's resource base. According to preliminary estimates, the overall lithium resource potential in Ukraine is quite high. The main lithium deposits are associated with Proterozoic complexes (1,7–2,1 billion years) of alkaline rocks, carbonate and granite pegmatites. Significant lithium reserves have been discovered at the Shevchenkivske, Polokhivske, Stankuvatske deposits and Dobra, Kruta Balka promising areas. The estimation of lithium oxide reserves is close to 500,000 tons, but none of lithium deposits in Ukraine are not mining yet. Most of lithium deposits are complex that is why even medium and small deposits can be attractive for investment, having well-developed infrastructure and the presence of mining and processing enterprises within the Ukrainian Shield (US).
