With lithium being such a volatile and reactive element, how does such a large deposit of the element not just explode with coming in contact with the air? Is there a bigger danger when mining lithium compared to other materials? What happens if it rains or a large amount of water comes into contact with the mine?

I assume because it’s not elemental lithium, it’s combined with other elements to form a compound like an oxide. This would mean a chemical reaction is necessary to separate them if you need elemental lithium.
