LithiumFound this on the LiX BB. Thought it was interesting. Doesn't mean I agree or disagree. I don't own either LiX or AAL. Brine, Clays & Hard Rock Lithium - 2017 Takeovers ### There are significant lithium developments coming to fruition in North America which should be just in time for the aggressive plans by manufacturers like Dailmer, Panasonic, Tesla, Volkswagen, General Motors, Buffett's BYD vehicles & buses in China & Americas, etc...### Have this gut intuition that we are going to start seeing takeovers at this level of the junior lithium explorers.### Actually, in a surprising twist of events at the end of 2016, it appears to be already happening.### For instance, Orocobre, the first "junior" lithium producer is probably well on its way to have a 51% controlling interest in Advantage Lithium. ### Initially, in the December business arrangement, Orocobre will begin with a 31% ownership of Advantage.### Given the consecutive highly successful borehole drill results in the Nevada Clayton Lithium basin, Advantage is well on its way for exciting lithium developments in 2017.### With Orocobre's significant ownership, therefore, Advantage Lithium is not likely in play as a takeover target by any other lithium developer or producer.### Market capitalization will be "key" for the senior lithium explorers launching takeover action of lower cap lithium juniors with successful projects.### It should be interesting to see what Clayton Valley target LIX has in mind, especially with the recent string of lithium achievements obtained by several juniors of relatively low market cap NE, East and SE of the Albemarle Silver Peak Brine Lithium Mine.### These consistent & successful findings involve lithium in the brine solution and surface clays along with reliable lithium metallurgy, that is, high recovery rates of lithium extraction in laboratory and onsite pilot plant testing campaigns. #### https://www.stockhouse.com/companies/bullboard/v.lix/lithium-x-energy-corp?postid=25645746
