Jackpot in the Mountains:  The Lithium Surprise Hiding in Appalachia

 

[...] it has been long known that there were deposits of lithium in American Appalachia, on Wednesday, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum took to his official X account to announce that these deposits are considerably larger than previously thought.  [...]

It is never a done deal until it comes out of the ground and is refined for use.  Democrats for the most part do not want to fabricate anything here, and mines do not begin overnight.

FAKE NEWS...LOL

 

Appalachia deposits are largely classified as undiscovered, but based on requisite knowledge from other pegmatite deposits and assay results combined with lithium prices, the potential mineable result has been determined by USGS.  This has a LONG way to go before anything is done with it.  

 

There's already proven resource under full development in the Smackover Formation in AK.  It is of significantly greater quantity and more easily accessible because it's brine, so it's drilled utilizing standard petroleum drilling equipment and techniques.  The lithium carbonate is extracted from the fluids using a new DLE (direct lithium extraction) technique and the mined waters are reinjected back subsurface. No evap ponds, no blasting, crushing, roasting, leaching, refining. DLE is really the quickest and most efficient way to get battery grade lithium quickly.

Update from last week: https://www.juniorminingnetwork.com/junior-miner-news/press-releases/2118-tsx-venture/sli/201753-standard-lithium-reaches-major-operational-milestones-at-arkansas-demonstration-plant.html

 

Standard Lithium have entered a JV with Equinor and Exxon are also in there.
