SYENITE = ALUMINUM I'll do one more...
Only because i think there's a few gold miners missing the boat...
Whereas, gold is wonderful by itself...
But... if one has a poential secondary mineral credit...
Why not see if there's sufficient grades to compliment the gold ?
If anyone has been researching the battery space,
There are numerous shortages on several fronts...
Nickel, Cobalt, and Aluminum.
Many are thinking there won't be enough lithium
to supply the manufacturers...
Seems the manufacturers can move faster than miners...
Which creates supply chain issues.
Lack of batt minerals....
Drives prices up.
And as so, drives vehicle prices up.
Which... inturn,
forces manufacturers to look for other battery metals
hoping to drive prices down - and gain more market control.
TESLA - March 14 2022 https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/14/tesla-has-bought-aluminum-from-russian-supplier-rusal-since-2020.html As most know...
there's also been a crunch supply issue with - aluminum.
What's even more interesting ?
Looking for the shift in markets - seeing if a big player
makes a move outside of lithium - batteries...
What other mineral interests them ?
Aluminum, iron, graphite.
TESLA CAR WORLD - ALUMINUM - ION - BATTERY VIDEO -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asJlK4fW60A FOKUS -
Has an approx - 41,00,000 million tonnes
Now i don't think all of it contains aluminum...
Spme ores / cores look moreso, greemstone,
while other ores appear grey, which is a good sign,
and of course the calc chalk ores... noted for bauxite.
41,000,000 tonnes
x 6 % aluminum
= 2,460,000 tonnes Aluminum
x $2,379 / tonne ) metal
= i'll let others crunch that number... ( yes, very large sum )
Again,
historicla records show galloway with,
6 % - 7.8 % aluminum.
Fokus has a good 4-5 deposits on the go.
I'm sure.. not each deposit is the same.
So... this post is speculative.
Not investment advice.
Merely showing the - importance - of a secondary mineral...
and what it might achieve as a complimentry credit.
In addition,
there's a whoel host of grants and support out there for
miners who are pulling / mining batt minerals...
If Elon is sporting aluminum ion battteries, it could
suggest the market might shift to other - salt like minerals such
as aluminum....
Positioning oneself ahead of time...
Or... even pouring anodes or cathodes...
could be beneficial for a junior...
Not to mention draw a double market attention...
Gold bugs and Battery bugs...
SYENITE -
Formula -
Al2KNaO8Si2 There's the - aluminum.
Fokus has this name slapped on several - photos.
Hendrick's ( purple ) coloration - syenite.
Alkai gold. ( with aluminum ( tease )
.
I know what i'd be doing... lol
Seeing how much aluminum is in the ores...
Tapping a few gov't grants - under energy metals.
Perhaps taking a second look at the river - free energy.
And... looking to see if solid state aluminum batteries
along with - aluminum ion batteries will soon oust lithium.
Even lithium is used in car panels...
Hopefully,
I've opened the juniors eyes...
What was once thought - not worthy ( aluminum )
could in all actuality be an - ace card.
Cheers....
Wouldn't need to look for larger gold player support,
This porject could be a stand alone if aluminum values
were consistent and with mass tonnage.
