Short summary
Faults and fractures can act as long-lived pathways that move lithium through the Earth. By combining field observations, chemical analyses, and dating of minerals, we show that these structures repeatedly channel fluids over millions of years. This process controls where lithium accumulates and helps explain how valuable deposits form. Understanding these pathways improves our ability to identify and assess lithium resources.
