There's lithium in them thar Arkansas hills! Tiny town of Magnolia that sits on multi-billion-dollar gold mine of precious metals is set to become epicenter of EV and mobile battery BOOM!

Exxon Mobil is planning to build one of the world’s largest lithium processing facilities near the town, with a capacity to produce 75,000 to 100,000 metric tons of lithium a year, sources say, which would be 15 percent of the world's lithium production.
