Time has already illustrated it isn't BHE or the Salton Sea haha
Go Go Gadget MDLE! Lol. Have a Good weekend. Maybe we get news this weekend or Monday pre market
..........."Time will tell who the mysterious customer will be"........
............Webster's definition of...." tightlipped ".......... See IBAT..........
Imtc, Couple of articles you will find interesting.
1.Various DLE technologies are already being developed. US oil producer Occidental Petroleum Corp. is developing a DLE technique through its TerraLithium subsidiary.

2.Next, let’s look at the newest entrant in the Salton Sea lithium race: TerraLithium.
Berkshire’s extraction process doesn’t require significant new technology, Weisgall said, although it does involve converting lithium to a battery-grade product via clean electricity rather than chemical reagents, in hopes of reducing costs and environmental impacts.

3.PATENT APPROVED
PREPARATION OF LITHIUM CARBONATE FROM LITHIUM CHLORIDE CONTAINING BRINES
Apr 10, 2023- TERRALITHIUM LLC
This invention relates to a method for the preparation of lithium carbonate from lithium chloride containing brines. The method can include a silica removal step, capturing lithium chloride, recovering lithium chloride, supplying lithium chloride to an electrochemical cell and producing lithium hydroxide, contacting the lithium hydroxide with carbon dioxide to produce lithium carbonate.
In my opinion, it's becoming clear the majors want a DLE"R"
( REFINERY ) that is one location to produce brine to carbonate. Interesting how IBAT and Terralithium could probably end up complimenting each other. Another Wild speculation in the hat, IBAT outstanding, esteemed, prominent customer Terralithium subsidiary of Occidental / Berkshire … Burba is going to be so wealthy.
Time will tell who the mysterious customer will be.
MDLE will still have a lot of value and huge demand in the U.S. and worldwide.
........Optimistic and resolute...........Good qualities !.........
Yes, Very Quiet..Broke the 3rd resistance level of .793 yesterday ..and held on at close...IMO..Production/output of Li Bi=revenue of the first MDLE of Burbas will be on display for all eyes to see..If you build the house...they will come.... In 30-60 to 90 days and a run up to $2,50 to $5.00 is quite possible.. Soon the Announcements ..projections of revenues about to be realized...more plants probably are going to be built..but our first contract customer ? in western US will sign into more details with that term sheet contract as this first upscaled plant ( 4,000 to 8,000 metric tons per annum Li Bi) rolls into production..The quiet before the storm.. Yes..Lets see that pps have some more volume and get it over the dollar..A Good Buy Time on the rise..IMO..Whats the new resistance? 1st resistance is .8283..2nd level resistance-.8566...3rd Resistance is .9132..Lets steadily see the buying at the ask..volume precedes price..Uplisting into the NasDaq is inevitable.. Happy Friday! Exciting times ahead.
Days away from production announcement and not a peep haha.
Might need to check your references. Please share them. Here is a link to current events in Chile with Lithium. Expect the "big 5" being announced first week of May.

As far as we know, IBATs DLE is the only one licensed by the Chilian government as of today..
Operating sunresin technology. The obvious statement is use technology that works, but the majority of the overcrowded DLE space just looking for investment money to continue to pilot.
Trading. Keep it coming. It’s coming. I can’t wait. Let the naysayers snooze. This is the stock market. I’m Rich cause of them

Libor Michel, probably sold shares after he left.
Jacob Warnock, keeps buying shares. My gut tells me the DLE went to a company that he owns shares in or owns the property...
It's the only name I feel like spending time researching.
I hope the cash raise is a good sign things are getting dialed in with the DLE...
I have a new drone with some range. I should take a drive to Utah and California, and do a few fly overs...

My weekend thoughts are opinionated..LOL..I believe that this first term sheet contract agreement with ? US Mag LLC or whoever..will upon announcing revenue/revenue projections, will a make the pps rise up to a conservative $2.84 plus..if news is strong..To $5.00 we go....and within 90 days..IMO..
Will do.
Ignoring le-bon garbage mouth
Will Do!

Thanks
Still waiting to read where it says the salton sea is producing carbonate.
I love this reply. Thank you for proving my point!
Quite the list of assumptions. Good luck bud

Bird Brain, I always considered you an asshole snowflake not worth reading your post, you proved me wrong. Now I know you're a brown nose little kiss ass snowflake to Johnny boy. You really are a loyal little minion to your dictator. Yessum Mr. Johnny I be's here boss….
Your family would be ashamed of you if they find out how much of a weasel you are hiding behind closed doors on discord admin.
You need to get with Johnny and make the road trip to Louisiana with him,I believe he's coming to La. for the Decadence Festival. Then you can tell me face to face what you want to to say. I'll bring a step stool since I'm 6'5 and you can look me in the eye instead of hiding in discord admin.
Little creepy that you're stalking me and monitoring what I do. Awesome that I was able to manipulate you to get some shares in indigo, are you still upside down on IBAT?
Your life is that pitiful you have nothing better to do, what are you a pervert or something.
The maggots blocked me from discord because they can't handle the truth and need a place to act like ginny women to gossip and come over to ihub and entertain me. It's priceless that I still have access into discord admin.
"JOHNNY'S FOLLIES"
Your such a hypocrite, come to Ihub because you ran everybody off of discord. Interesting how you don't think the first amendment doesn't apply to you by blocking me and others from discord. Your like a little communist dictator hiding behind discord admin. Brilliant move by the way, locking me out of discord last Friday and giving me full access to only one channel "ADMIN". I knew you weren't the sharpest pencil in the box when you couldn't even figure out how to give me all the channels on discord and threw in the towel and said something like wtf you want me to do.
You ever tell your minions about how you wanted to get the security guard fired at Shaw and I told you to stand down because the man probably has a family and no harm was done. Your a pitiful excuse for a human who only wants to put people in his dog pound or block them if they have their own opinion.
I now have a treasure trove of admin screenshots, the only thing you need to post here is a date when your going to be in La.for Decadence Festival.
If you don't comprehend what I'm saying , then you will get your first lesson in Napoleonic Law !!!
Rumor has it, CTR got a turbine finally built and it'll be a few months before it starts to integrate. Amazing start, I remember not so long ago they were commercializing a few times.
Energy source and got smart, decided to sell their absorbent to liveny
Then there's BHE who knows geothermal is the way to go until all the morons sort themselves out for another decade as that brine is never going to be economical again.
Even when the burbs had his demo at simbol, the nearly identical market conditions then had 0 appetite to advance the project.
Yet here we are staring at uneconomical dle prices, some random Cajun conjecture and sqm brought adionics on board. Slap in the burba face! 10 years later SQM says OK demand is here now hahahhaha
You're out of touch. Good for you there are people who share their amazing research. Salton Sea is a flop, you're burning midnight oil on nothing.
KNOC, POSCO Holdings to collaborate on lithium extraction
2024.04.18
Who knows what they are up to. They bought and sold at same price. Sold less then bought. A lot of insiders buying small amounts. Not all warrant transactions. Looks like we are Brewing. Just need solid news for investors
EVL Holdings cant make up their mind. buying 2million worth of shares two weeks ago and selling 1.5 million worth of shares this week.
hows the court case going here? still muddying through i suppose. yeah?
..........Le Bon.........Well considered and presented...........
April 22,2024 A similar DLE process has also drawn the interest of billionaire Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK-A) (NYSE:BRK-B), but in California’s Salton Sea instead of South America’s Lithium Triangle. Through its subsidiary Berkshire Hathaway Energy Renewables (‘BHE Renewables’), the company is planning for 2026 as its goal for producing lithium as a byproduct of existing geothermal energy production in the region.
BHE Renewables already runs a fleet of 10 geothermal plants in the Imperial Valley. After constructing a DLE demonstration plant to assess the viability of lithium extraction, the company plans to go on to potentially build a commercial-scale facility with a projected annual capacity of 90,000 metric tons of lithium.
It’s worth noting, however, that an initial $15M grant from the US Department of Energy was initially awarded to BHE, only to be quietly rescinded just weeks later. After 13 months of negotiations between the company and the government, talks stalled as Berkshire sought control over patents, changes to technology, and whether it could one day sell the lithium business, even after the government helped build it, as reported by Reuters.
My opinion looks like everything is a go now that the 11th geothermal demonstration lithium plant has been proven successful. Keep in mind Berkshire has 3 more geothermal plants under construction. It will take a proven technology to produce 90000 metric tons. Looking forward to seeing who the technology is.
This one line seems like Buffets referencing a proven dle tech in South America (only one proven DLE tech that I know of in S.A.) will also work in the Salton Sea.

On Feb, 29, 2024, IBAT (CAD), is pleased to announce the private placement financing with EV Metals, in which it issued 2,702,400 Units of the companys shares at a price 0f C$1.00 per unit(share) for gross proceeds of USD 2 million.(initial closing)....There will be no RS for IBAT(IBATF)..got Michel Libor on board..and many of the board members own a ton of shares of their own company..thats what seems to be a huge sign of good things to come from our first contract client in the Western US( US Mag ? )...Seems logical that our stock is devalued at a 52% discount.IMO..In May or June..you will see IBATF stock at above $1.42 or higher..possibly $2.74..Just my opinion. but that plant in Western US will start to soon produce LiBi in june or shortly thereafter..The first Commercially DLE of its kind should garner lots of attention from the Big Boys..Jon Baker says IBATs tech works..then it works..SLR & Greg Mehros validated the IBAT process to be quite commercially positive, environmentally friendsly, little land required for DLE mobile plant(2.3 acres),97% of the water is recycled, little of no use of chemicals used.. The Absorbant material and tech can handle all types of brines as testing results stated..quick to build model MDLE 1 plant(6 months or less) ..New patents in place..Revenue is Coming along with more contract clients. Let the good times roll..IMO..its coming $oon!
AI to spark 10-year Supercycle in Critical Minerals, The Oregon Group forecasts
CNW Group
Mon, Apr 22, 2024, 9:30 AM EDT
TORONTO, April 22, 2024 /CNW/ - The explosion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to trigger a 10-year critical mineral supercycle, according to a new report. The Oregon Group predicts the massive energy needs of new AI data centers will increase pressure on mineral supply chains already under strain to meet global net-zero targets.
The report examines key trends affecting the growth across the sector, including:
nuclear energy and uranium
renewable energy and battery metals, including cobalt, graphite, lithium, nickel, manganese, rare earths, fluorspar
expanding electricity grids driving copper demand
and tin, essential for soldering across the tech revolution
This growth in demand is driven by a potent combination of technology companies, consumer and business demand, and government support, all racing to maintain a global cutting edge.
The large tech companies are betting hundreds of billions on new data centers — Amazon plans to spend US$150 billion over the next 15 years on data centers — as they are already facing challenges to their ambitions of AI growth.
Years of underinvestment in new mines, concentrated supply and processing in high-risk regions, as well as rising demand for minerals to meet net-zero targets, means supply will struggle to keep pace with the potential AI demand that is only now starting to be appreciated.
The report highlights NVIDIA's soaring stock price, a proxy for investment in the AI revolution, as a signpost that the supercycle is already underway.
McKinsey forecasts generative AI has the potential to generate value equivalent to $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion in global corporate profits annually.
The combined incentives of significant corporate profits, technological advancements, environmental restrictions and consumer pressure, will overcome many of the obstacles to investment across the sector, even those hindering net-zero targets.
To learn more about the new critical mineral supercycle and key trends, you can access The Oregon Group's new report, entitled "Artificial Intelligence and the next Critical Mineral Supercycle" by visiting our dedicated website section for the market report.

As far as the Imperial Valley/Salton Sea Project(s) Stands..I think the last 12 years of creating a sound plan to extract the lithium there in an environmental sound way has been developed..and will no doubt have court implications to try to stop it..but the support has gained enough approval to proceed..as it it his..Just have to have a DLE Tech that has the pipes and eqipment to handle the highly hot salty corrosive brine below...Burba might have the patent for the betterment of the tubing/pipes to withstand that corrosive brine for longer periods of flow.. .. highly resistant replacement pipes might be more cost effective now ..Seems like Burba and BHE might be on it..might be on it..We cant afford warming this continent up anymore..so IMO..the Imperial Valley Project Plan is very well..DLE? is the way to go ..and fast!
Meanwhile, billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Energy — which owns 10 of the 11 existing geothermal power plants at the Salton Sea — has been trying for years to develop a profitable technique for lithium extraction.

Construction starts on huge lithium project near Salton Sea despite threat of a lawsuit
https://www.desertsun.com/story/news/environment/2024/01/25/lawsuit-could-block-massive-project-near-salton-sea/72354176007/
Must be. Makes way less sense than e3 or salton sea
It’s probably just a coincidence that US mag advertises on their website they have the capacity to produce 9k tonnes per annum at their existing facility and ibats mystery customer will produce 8k
I never checked your math, to me anything over 3-4k production is irrelevant as i view unit 1 as the proof of concept to Exxon as they validate their pruchase of the goldilocks. I'm still waiting to see what references are available that led people to believe salton sea produces carbonate.
https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1308&context=nrei&httpsredir=1&referer=
No that’s not true. The Gen 1 unit is maxed out at 5k/tonne with with an atacama-like brine, unless columns are added. My guess is Gen 2 units will have wider columns, but not necessarily more, to allow more volume, thus increasing the yield to 20k tonnes. Ibat is the opposite of hype.
You embarrassed yourself with your recent posts. I thought you were all about “let the good times roll.” Maybe you are lashing out because atlas is falling like a rock. This is why I left this board. It’s full of a bunch of emotional cry baby boomers!
Interesting that IBAT has always hyped the recovery rate to be 5000mt upgraded to 20000 mt lithium yearly recovery rate.
Now they are saying for this outstanding customer it will be 4000mt upgraded to 8000 mt.
Sounds like it would have to be a thick mucky geothermal brine to drop that low.
If the ppm where 3000 almost pure lithium they would be outputting at least 20000 mt and upgrade to 40000 mt.
That some serious mushrooms and kool-aid being passed around, enjoy the psyco trip because the buzz kill is coming.
Its all coming to a theater near you! Soon details will prove D8c00p3r to be right, as I believe he is right based on facts, not delusion..No offense but we all all here, and the party will start withing the upcoming weeks, months, as the company(s) grow together..Together we are, so we should play nice.. Money talks, bulshit walks as we need news, deals, and revenue..Projected revenue will move the pps up in a heartbeat..IMO. Whats Up Doc? We want some carrots..
Thanks for the Great post!
US Magnesium LLC is a privately traded company as we know..plus no doubt is our first contract customer..Confidentiality agreement is stronly respected here as the two parties go thru finalizing their term sheet contract..Could not be more happier with US Mag being our first, but not the last Contract Customer.Domino effect ? Its possible that Burbas propriety IBAT MDLE Tech could lead all DLE first and foremost..Getting the early bites before other DLEs try to develop their own DLE tech..time is now in the next year or less to line up those deals..IMO..Burba wont FU like before with Simble/Rhinegold..He came out of retirement twice just to finish the journey with Success this time around...We shareholders count!
I respectfully disagree. However it's a free world and actions have consequences. The offer will remain on the table until later this summer, then ill be closer to the bayou and will happily oblige.
When you're capable, please share your reference suggesting Salton Sea or any other region in the United States is producing carbonate that would be qualitative enough to support the company press release stating "existing lithium carbonate producer" in the Western U.S.
Oh , I hurt your little feelings and shamed the devil and told the TRUTH…
and showed your true colors and upset you.
Bring it on !
I'm not scared of you…
You're using some choice wording. Come on down to the Imperial Valley where you can feel free to choose your words in person.
I'm sorry your resources have misled you to think there are producers outside of the 2 that have been listed by USGS. If you need help with academic resources feel free to reach out.
I've also shared the permit data on USmag for everyone here. I believe it was more likely to be the customer over the only other carbonate producer in the United States, Albermarle. Who has continiously stated they're not interested in the application of DLE to expand their Silver Peak project as they are currently planning to expand with the use of additional ponds.
These social media platforms are a great way to share information, and typically involve discussion regarding information provided. I am all set in the friend department but thank you for your kind offer.
