RHYOLITE - FELDSPAR
In the 2016 tech report we can read that nearby rhyolites contain 228 ppm lithiim. This ppm value
would align with the lithium brine values with in the clayton aquifers, and, could also explain the lithium in clay values in ( adjacent claims ) which became, concentrated due to less fresh water exposure ( not inline ) with fresh water paths....such as, albermarle or pure energy.
Rhyolites are comprised of, FELDSPARS...aluminum, calcium, potassium and sodium.
So, if the nearby rhyolite ranges erode and end up depositing - in clayton valley, what would be
the potential link in which a, LAB might miss seeinng the lithium values with in the ore or brine samples ? It, would point to, lithium having a - twin bond, with another, feldspar element.
What's the missing, component which would- liberate a, potential feldspar bond with lithium...?
What is there more of, and less of in the upper strata of basin ores ?
= CHLORIDE.
There is far-more ( FRESH WATER )in upper strata or aquifers... than there is ( CHLORIDE )
Whereas....freshwater can't liberate the ( suspect ) lithium bond, that might be occuring.
If NO CHLORIDE in upper brinnes...then, chances are, the lithium will be missed by, labs.
On the flip side...lithium begins showing uup, when chloride values increase, in lower, aqiifers.
Coincidence ? ( i think not )
SOLUTION ?
Add chloride to the upper strata aqiifers...to see if the lithium in freshwater horizons liberate the
lithium. Open up the plugged cv holes, agitate the upper strata, and ollect the brines, add chloride.
If the lithium shows up...it will certainly change the dynamics of this, lithium brine project.
If rhyolites contain, lithium in nearby ranges...and if seasonal rains carry, it into basin, and if
the, basin has sedimemts + clays to trap, it's highly probable the ( lithium ) is still there, in near samecvalue ppm's same, as, rhyolite ranges...simply, check the feldspar group of mimerals, calciim, aliminim, potassium, sodiim, for the lithium in a bond...or, even on its own...in freeform, in csrbonate that may have been missed by the lab...which may have been too narrow in thier seaarch, looking for lithium chloride.
Again, the lithium may have formed a, bond, or could be in a, carbonate form, which is more resistent to solubilizing....adding chloride to the resampled upper aquifer - brines... just, might
REVEAL HIDDEN LITHIUM.
