Prices of lithium have fallen more than 80% in the past year largely due to overproduction from China and a drop in demand for electric vehicles.

Falling prices have forced many global lithium producers to scale back production and cut jobs.

Portugal , with some 60,000 tons of known reserves, is already Europe 's biggest producer of lithium, traditionally mined for ceramics.
