If Dajin....Now... if Dagin ever did probe the basins for electrical resitivities
I would rather the junior to use longer probes with tight contacts.
Reaching to the wetter sediments which would have liberated severa lof the salts into a solubility solution = more conductivity.
Even visualizing a 100 series grid set up with hollow cores and rods fastened around the core, would allow the junoor to do two things....
1- add water peridoically to asisst with the conductivity to copper metal + sediments
2 - .add salt solution to the interior of the core - to optimize the conductivity
buying rock salt by the tonne to lower the costs - while aiding the electrolitic voltage
it would be a cheap addition inconjunction to the sediments salts - double bang
In my own opinion...
A junior would be silly not to try this out...
Like i said... mining and pulling the metals out = its a one-fer profit....
Keeping the metal ions in the ground = they jeep on giving....
I'd make that bet and say....
permitting an ionic energy operation would be a breeze - vs - dig and scoop operation
this ionicenergy has a very low footprint = eco friendly....
Best part - Nevada retains - metals in the gorund = Nevada always perofits along with junior
When... a model like this is proposed - orchestrating a benifit for the state - things can get done fast - becomes more advantageous for the state vs foreign miner wanting to - exploit.
The grants and well, all funding thrown at geothermal should be diverted towards exploiting the electrical ions with in the basins... this just might be the key that unlocks these nevada basins and accommodates the Canadian juniors accordingly - all because the minerals stay intact.... win / win for both.... there's electrica lresitivities and then there are other forms of resistivities... wink.
Again...
just my own opinion.
Cheers...
