Note: a) indications of columns: $N$ – number of selected LSLDs, $R$ – total integrated resources (mined + reserves + resources, $10^6$ tons Li$_2$O), $R_m$, mean quantity of integrated resources per LSLD ($10^6$ tons Li$_2$O), $C$ – weighted mean grade of Li$_2$O in ores (%), $X$ – share of integrated resources of LSLDs referred to the given supercontinent cycle relative to the entire sampling (%), $x$ – the same minus hydromineral resources (%); b) template of data record for the Amasian and Total: $n/m$, where $n$ is the data for all LSLDs, $m$ is the same minus hydromineral LSLDs. |
