no one making money on rare metals. Ten years ago the entire industry was worth less

As to lithium there is lot out there but to get it activated is the big issue. Finding brines is
the best. SQM a Chilean miner is the largest supplier of lithium in the world It helps them
but their true bread and butter is potash. If battery evolves as to anodes made of silicon the
amount of lithium needed in batteries will greatly decrease. Lot of companies finding it
in Canada and big guys now are American Lithium and Fen Swing (can't remember name).
Hope someone makes money on lithium besides being pushed by Tesla. IKE
It's all good IKE you're not a Debbie downer. You raise some good points. I was surprised at the discovery of tantalum. The powder is used in the aerospace industry. If this discovery is high quality it's going to add a lot of value. Especially as a lot of money is being invested by Nasa on setting up a moon base and then onto Mars. These metals are in high demand by many countries. This is going to be interesting. Good luck folks.
