GASTON CO., N.C. – Tuesday night, neighbors hope to learn more about plans for a proposed lithium mine in Gaston County.
The material would be used to power batteries for electric cars, but neighbors worry about the environmental impact.
Piedmont Lithium wants to build the mine on a site off Highway 150, east of Cherryville.
Company officials will make a presentation to Gaston County Commissioners on Tuesday night.
The company claims the site will be one of the world’s largest and lowest-cost produces of lithium hydroxide, and would be more sustainable than other lithium mines in China and South America.

CATAWBA, S.C. Scientists launched into the Catawba River Tuesday to investigate whether a York County paper mill, already being blamed for emitting a stinky odor, is also causing foam to form downstream from the plant.
The river forms the eastern border of the New Indy paper mill in Catawba.
On Tuesday, a three-person team made up of two South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) scientists and Brandon Jones of the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation spent the day collecting samples from different spots on the river.
