Extract from link (https://zpravy.aktualne.cz/domaci/reportaz-lithium-cinovec-tezba/r~443d7084ca6011ee9d3d0cc47ab5f122/ some parts translated) - new name for the mica.
"This is what we're interested in, the shiny parts," the geologist points to a piece of cinvaldite, a mica with a high lithium content. It got its name from Cínovec, formerly called Cinvald. A gray stone with silver and bronze reflections does not sparkle as strongly as gold, nor does it need to be handled with gloves like radioactive uranium. Nevertheless, lithium should be a key element in the coming decades.
other notable comments made by CEZ:
Even Geomet doesn't have the answers yet. It is currently awaiting the results of a feasibility study, which should show whether it is even possible to start mining at Cínovec. At the end of last year, the initial version was ready, now its results are being specified in greater detail.
"Only then will an EIA study (environmental impact assessment - editor's note) take place, which will include all studies that will determine the measures that must be taken to have as little impact on the environment as possible," says ČEZ spokesperson Gazdík.
and lastly:
Further negotiations between the municipalities, the region and the miners are planned for the beginning of March.
