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?

These mines don’t contain metalic lithium, they contain various ores in which the Lithium has already been oxidized. In order to get the metalic lithium out a reaction reaction has to be performed.
