SILVER PEAK + ROUND MOUNTAIN Are locate immediately to the left of, Pure - Energy's claims.
Side Note -I've read ( countless ) usgs nevada mimeral reports pertsining to basins.
What i've found is, most authors ( geologists ) are perplexed as to how the,
lithium originated with in the aqiifers or clay basins.
Some, point to, hydrothermal fluids seep into the basins from deep below,
and more or less, impregnate the basin with, various fluvial salts.
Some, refer to, carried in by topical water flows...transporting, mineral salts from other areas,
depositing into valleys, or basins.
What if, round mountain + silver peak had the same mimeral composition as, clayton basin ?
What if one compared each mimeral from these two ranges with the clayton basin ?
What if, there was a huge correlation to these - adjacent - mountains with the mimerology of the basin / to thecpoint of near exact - match ?
Could it be that easy, matching adjacent mountain range minerology to that, of, clayton basin ?
What if i, told you...round-mountain and silver peak - which just so happens to have a north side
low level cinder cone, comsist of near same mimerology, as what many nevada basins have ?
Lots of, Rhyolite, Pigeonite, Biotite, Labraodite,
22.4% :Aluminum Oxide
10% :Calcium
3% :Sodiim
2.5%: Magnesium
1.4% Potassium
.22%: Maganese
If i didn't know any better....
i'd say these are the, ingredients/recipe of, clays...wink.
A must read pdf...
I think there's a strong correlation,
that points to the, immediate moumtain ranfes that horseshoe wrap around clayton basin,
a highly suspect for, origin of same, mimerals as, clayton basin.
If proved conclusive...then, it would, mean...the seasonal rains that cascade, off these mountains
carrying all the minerals into the basin via water run off....would have the lithium with it, right ?
THIS IS WHERE IT GETS COMPLICATED The PDF link below has numerois mimerals, to that of what a typical nevada basin harbors..
all but one = lithium.
The spectometry did not reveal any lithiim.
Now, should one believe the lab spectometry report ?
Could there be human error ?
Or, could the lithium have hidden with a bond to another element such as,
aluminum, rhyolite, calcium, potassiim...etc... ?
The simplest test to perform is, and as formerly mentioned in previois posts,
is to let the acid do the work for the - miner.
10% dilute even 15% dilute acid....having enough acid to ensure each mineral can dissolve.
Then...perform the electrolysis....and see it the lithium liberated from a potential bond that went umdetected via - spectometry analysis.
Here's an excerpt from the PDF RHYOLITIC ROCKS
Rhyolitic rocks are quite widespread, occurring in almost all parts
of the district except for the extreme north and south sections of the
west half. The rocks are thickest in the west-central part of the dis-
trict, where they reach a maximum thickness of over 180m.
The rhyolite wedges out toward the east, unconformably overlies
the andesitic rocks, and is interlayered with the volcanic breccia. It
consists of pale blue-green to buff rhyolitic flows and tuffs, flow brec-
cias, and, locally, fine-grained rhyolitic intrusive rocks. Where possi-
ble, the intrusive rhyolite and the rhyolite tuff" were mapped as sepa-
rate cartographic units. The rhyolite tends to form cliffs and steep
slopes and, in general, appears very rugged. Locally, remnants of
flows and intrusive plugs form jagged spires.
Rhyolitic flows are generally aphanitic to cryptocrystalline and
commonly display well-developed perlitic fractures. X-ray diffracto-
grams indicate that quartz and alkali feldspar are the dominant

1) May comfirm origin of lithium
2) Would support insurgence of new lithiim su0ply to basin, each year - based on, incoming water flows,. from nearby ranges.
One, could say.... But what about PE's southern holes = weak ppm ?
1) recheck ths brines with acids...see if the lithium was hiding in a bond, tetra bond.
2) check the base of ranges, for lithium - values...whether in, rhyolites, aluminum, potassium, sodium, etc....if no lithium is present in the - sediments coming in from the - ranges,
but the mountain - range ores match the sediments of, clsyton basin, and if acids don't reveal
any hidden bonds... then, the lithium origin points to, hot, geothermal - fluids.
Yet...i can't help but think of, rhyolite ridge, thacker pass...
my hunch is....the lithium is bonded, to a calcite, or aluminum, potassiim, magnesiim, or sodiim.
Cheers...
