RE:RE:RE:RE:I’m ready for the news Sure srid, but isn't it strange that they nonetheless associated boron with lithium? It's the extraction of lithium from whatever mineral it's bounded to that's really the main environemental issue. In the Jadar case, the lithium is binded with boron; jadarite - It's the only place in the world that this mineral composition is found.
The way the ammendment was worded was either specifically aimed at Jadar (i.e. lithium + boron = both of them together) - with no mention of banning any other types of lithium extraction or it was aimed at banning all types of lithium mining AND all types of boron mining. I think it's just a really bad semantic use coming from lawyers. That issue could easily had to be resolved in court if the ammendment would have been approved. It happened in the US - here's an example of that:

I'm just glad that ammendment is buried. That has to be the last curve ball (that no one here saw coming) before the Piskanja's mining license is awarded.
Really good of you of shared that. Thanks.
