What an odd headline. Was that mine lost and they stumbled upon it again? Or did they discover new deposits?

I don't see what you mean.

A "mine" would suggest there is already infrastructure.

If you just found some new place with a ton of lithium, it's not a mine until you actually build all the stuff around it to get it out of the ground.

You can't "find" a mine, unless you already built one, and then forgot it existed.
