THE BORON ANOMALY
Boron when present in the right conditions - amongst....
Calcium, Chloride, Sodium, Lithium ,Potassium etc....
Wil lhave a dominat effect.
Here is where smarts come into play....
Test the basin sediments - you find upto 850 ppm Lithium
Test the brines the lithium diminshes
= Where did the lithium go ?
Dependent upon which time of year the geo tests the basin, could also depend on what results are found when tested.
The kind of testing is also important.
What if the brines only see a spectometry terst ?
IT'S THEN ONE HAS TO PROBE DEEPER -
And ask... has the lithium been coated by another bonding salt - such as boron ?
DRY BASIN ?
Salt wil lform crystals
Salts have just altered their state of being.
WET BASIN ?
Salts along with water + heat
will again alter the state of eachsalt
RESULT ?
The trests might have ended with two conclusive reports.
WHERE AM I HEADED WITH THIS ?
Oh... just pointing out how salts interact.
Thety have a tendency to bond - unbond - and change along with the elemental conditions.
If you have period of wet seasons and dry with in a year...
The salts wil ladapt to each seasonal change.
IN TEELS BASIN
The boron is in a calcium carbonate format
Calcium inhibits
Boron and Calcium also abosrb the - O / H within the brine water
O / H is required for lithium to bond in a hydroxide or chloride sated
If too much boron and calcium is present Is it any wonder...
why the lithium is challenged to convert ot a brine ?
Now.. my hunch all these years is validated with - a deficiency within most the nevada basins
along with an over abundance of inhibitor salt resistors hat prevents lithium to turn ot brine.
too much calcium and boron = not enough chloride and O/H
Increasing the chloride, oxygen and hydrogen in a water solution would theoretically allow
the lithium to bond into a hydroxide or chloride valiue .
Which is alos reflective to the distilled + deionized water - as to why the lithium in nevadas sediments can easily bond - MccLELLEND DI - LAB TESTS....
Date stamped - reflective of my salt theory.
WHICH POINTS TO -
what sort of lab tests are perofrmed that when sediments are checked for lithium it show up
VS WHEN BRINES ARE STUDIED IT HIDES \?
MY HUNCH ?
4 part acid is used when sediments are chcked
Which breaks all bonds and allows a proper test to be performed
Which points to - testing the brines with acid would resolve this test indifference
allowing a model of testing ( same testing |) that is performed on sedimenrts to follow through
and test brines in same manner with same acids....
Lithium can potentially bond to -
calcium, potassium, magnesium, boron, sodium
If lithiumcarbonate is present in sediemnts at surface and at depth
and can be proven in lab then...theoretically the lithium should also be present in the brines.
A lithium carbonate portion thereof... should be seen in a suspension.
BUT....if the lithium has paired with a boron or calcium - it will keep to this bond
and not dissolve - thus - goes undetected- potentially due to a coheasive bond - which might
hide itself with a cloak under spectromtry -
THE ART OF FINDING POTENTIALLY - CLOAKED - LITHUM
BRINES SHOULD RECIEVE AN ACID TEST JUST AS SEDIMENTS DO
TO PROPERLY ASSESS THE SALT MINERALS AND THIER RELATIONS.

DISCUSSING BORON + OTHER SALTS - WITH LITHIUM CARBONATE
This work mainly focuses on the effect of boron on Li2CO3 crystallization production with LiCl solutions. The existence form of boron and its combining capacity with Li2CO3 crystal were investigated by both the experimental and theoretical methods. With these fundamental results, the effects of various parameters on the boron entrainment of Li2CO3 crystals are investigated and discussed. Results of this study will have important significance in the preparation of Li2CO3 from brines.

.
END SUM ?
Retest the brines with an acid test - to unbond any lithium carbonate that may have bonded to
borate or calcium carbonate....all values of lithium would be unbonded with in an acid medium.
Not investment advice...
Purely theoretical and directed towards company.
