Warning: Time is running out After the successful bench test of its lithium extraction/ carbonation technology (https://www.juniorminingnetwork.com/junior-miner-news/press-releases/2546-cse/owli/151948-one-world-lithium-final-results-validates-its-lithium-carbonation-technology.html)
I foresee a quick movement towards and through commercial demonstration. How can that be, you ask, when it took Ucore over two years to go from pilot to commercial demonstration?
Well here are the reasons:
Reason #1: OWL's DLE technology is super small and mobile (micro scale compared with a Rapidsx SMC). As Jack Lifton observed:
"I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the demonstration plant doesn't have to be in a shiny building in a big city. It can be on the back of a truck. It is not very large. It is basically a tank-- a sealed tank-- with a pressure system, a carbon dioxide feed, and a heating system. Ok, that's it. Put that on a flatbed, roll that out to Nevada, start precipitating Lithium Carbonate from those brines and invite the President to take a look."

Reason #2: Components for OWL's DLE can be bought "easily off the shelf or the railroad car". That is how Jack Lifton described them in another interview (https://youtu.be/pX76tQwqYlI).
In conclusion, this is the age of metals processing. This is more important than the mines themselves--the processing. And those who invest early and wisely in the right companies, will be rewarded . And as Uncle Rapid always says, be sure to diversify your strategic metals processing portfolio.

P.S. Dragon, you still haven't responded to what I said to you on my last post.

P.P.S. Just got another great email from Mark! I am super excited about Ucore!
