RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:More manupilationPatch,
Ok, my ignore is not working and at the risk being drug into another conversation that will devolve into discussing toilets ect, I must respond, as any good beaver wood say, dam it.
The ground waters of the Clayton Valley proper are not potable waters, they are brine waters. The waters for the grand old mining town of Silver Peak come from a fresh water well above town to the west were they tap fresh water coming off the high mountians that close off the valley on the west. These are not brine waters in that well, and they serve as the potable water source for Silver Peak.
Not to mention that Cypress is not contempating any injection into any groundwaters whatever their compostion, they are not, no cation for cation exchange in any subsurface waters is going to occur. No statues need to be mentioned and no addtional discussion of this point is neccessary.
The important over riding thing with any conversation like this is that ALB continues to pump these increasingly depelated brine waters into ponds where the actual water is allowined to evapoartion in the very air we breath ( a Neil Young refernce, somewhere on a desert high highway) and leave the basin forever, yielding up an increasingly small amount of lithium upon final processing. This at the cost of not using these same brine waters to process the fossil brine resources on the SE Cyayton Bench, a resource the dwarfs even the origional brine resource of 1964. It is madness. This is the question, of most benefical use of those reamining brine waters.
