SEDIMENT vs. BRINE vs WATTSSEDIMENTS
IT TAKES 1,000,000 PPM = 1 KG
1,000 PPM SEDIMENTS per tonne
Therefore = miner needs to mine
1,000 tonnes of sediments
= 1/kg of Li
What would the costs of mining 1,000 tonnes amount to ?
How about acid costs ?
Lithium is sold in tonnes - not kg
If a miner reduces the sediment tonne by 1/2 to cut the acids costs
they would still have to mine the 1,000 tonnes to reduce this 1,000 tonnes
= 500 tonnes ( reduces the amount of acids needed to treat 1/2 the sediments )
In order to obtain another 1,000 ppm Li the miner has to mine another tonne
Therefore - the miner can't escape the mining of 1,000 tonnes to produce a measely
= 1 kg of Li
HOW MUCH BRINE WOULD A MINER NEED = SAME RESULLTS ?
A briner would only need 1 ppm x 1,000 liters
= 1,000 ppm ( 1,000 liters per 1 cubic of - brine )
50 ppm per liter
x 1,000 liters
= 50,000 ppm divide into 1,000,000 ppm ( represents 1 kg )
= 20 tonnes of brine results in ( 1 kg Li )
100 ppm per liter
= 10 cubics of brine mined = 1 kg
200 ppm
= 5 cubics of brine needed = 1 kg
ELECTRICAL WATTS ?
This is where a salt miner - needs to crunch the numbers
In order to know what is best bang for buck per tonne of salt ore...
Does leaving the salts in the ground profit the miner more ?
And how much electricty could be gernerated per tonne of salt ore
if the earths magnetic field keeps recharging the dissolved salt ions
= Is mining the ions more profitable ?
I'D SAY....
IT'S TIME TO TEST THE BASINS = IONIC CHARGE...
ANYONE AGREE ?
It would take about a( week ) to testKEY areas of a basin....
= the junior ould at least have an angle on what the basin has to offer up....
= they'd at laast have a prelim on the basins ionic electrical charge to see
if's even feasable....
Anyone call the company to see what they're up to ?
Cheers...
