Lithium is not all about electric vechiles. Use your brain. It’s the future of smaller battery’s that last longer and have major applications in the future. Bye bye u.

[gregcod]

How ? of a post, nowwhat2....EG..Tesla Musk is building a huge storage facility so he can stock up on LiBi cause the price of lithium wont stay down forever.Smart man.Too bad Musk did not buy the former Simble, now IBAT from Burba for 1.5 billion years ago... His mistake loss is our gain..LOL...No nothing nw2..IMO.Electric vehicles and other lithium based energy alternatives will curtail the devastation of a fossil fueled world,..Global warming at this present rate is not good.. PS.You will see how Exxon Mobil/ big oil companies gets into the lithium business.Soon..The world is going to be a healthier place.BBB...short for.. Bet On Burba Big! IMO....A safe bet ..Adding today..HoldiFire!...Always ng long for the white gold! ..Watch Burba grow his company..Burba is the Godfather of Lithium.He has earned that right.IMO...PS.. The US Mag LLC President has stated that at Utah Salt flats/US Mag...They could produce 46 metric tons per year ?..Lot more than the 9-10 metric tons per year with the current upgrade at the US Mag plant...Plenty of potential..Burba will be building the IBAT plants faster and better as they keep doing it....Man on Fire!... I Always watch what Elon Musk is doing.. DLE lithium extraction is going to be big in making a greener world.

........Working in concert with US Magnesium LLC, IBAT is now commercially producing Lithium using its patented and tested DLE Technology and production equipment......Success in this arena of endeavor will speak volumes for the efficacy of their achievements.....The inventive abilities of Dr. Burba (et al) have been put on display in a very harsh and demanding environment, I believe, to further prove their merit and mettle, industrially and environmentally..........an invaluable contribution !.........

[Harbor6460]

Investing is a start up growing business/industry takes time. We don’t have a lot of money…and everything costs money…management,workers,transportation,training,otc filings to stay current. The unit is in place and being upgraded to produce more lithium as per the filing. Everything looks Good here. And a Huge step from 12 months ago. I have invested in small start ups in the past…it takes to,e…but when it gets to the next level…which I see coming here…growth and Revenue will be on the way. DLE is the future…that’s not a question…and we are 1st to market and showing our stuff as we speak..shares keep getting googled up. Long and STRONG Burba!

IMHO...The hiring of Iris Jancik was Huge! Just an opinion..Connections plus a killer company like IBAT....A winning combo.IMO.Going to run up a Tad soon.IMO..

[gregcod]

The proof is in the pudding.pudding..Yes, when Galvanic Energy CEO Brent Wilson sold the 120,000 acres of that smackover brines to Exxon Mobil, he told The big oil company that IBAT/Burbas tech was better than he anticipated...and you best believe that that smackover brine and the testing results by then SLR was confirmed to be selectively highly efficient in extracting of
lithium chloride..The temp of that Arkansas smackover brine tested needed no or little heat exchangers & that brine was at the perfect temp of 200 degrees .Pefect match.Lower cost ..They tested other brines from other parts of the world as well..Exxon Mobil will take Brent Wilsons word & the SLR testing results along with the Greg Mehros Testing results..Now the US Mags plant testing results..Now producing lithium... No fool Exxon Mobil will no doubt be talking about using IBAT tech seriously..and they are..I believe a deal for the smackover region of Arkansas, Texas, Lousiana and much more will strike a deal with Burba $oon.IMO.Been saying if the shoe fits, wear it....Getting a little bit closer to boom BOOM Time..IMO... The 2nd qtr reports due out in next two weeks?..News as well...

Now is the time to buy cheap and store. These prices won’t last when companies go out of business and supply is low. Hence DLE is the future

LITHIUM
(Data in metric tons, lithium content, unless otherwise specified)
Domestic Production and Use: Commercial-scale lithium production in the United States was from a continental
brine operation in Nevada and from brine-sourced waste tailings of a Utah-based magnesium producer. Two
companies produced a wide range of downstream lithium compounds in the United States from domestic or imported
lithium carbonate, lithium chloride, and lithium hydroxide. Domestic production data were withheld to avoid disclosing
company proprietary data.
Although lithium uses vary by location, global end uses were estimated as follows: batteries, 87%; ceramics and
glass, 4%; lubricating greases, 2%; air treatment, 1%; continuous casting mold flux powders, 1%; medical, 1%; and
other uses, 4%. Lithium consumption for batteries increased significantly in recent years because rechargeable
lithium batteries have been used extensively in the growing market for electric vehicles, portable electronic devices,
electric tools, and energy grid storage applications. Lithium minerals were used directly as mineral concentrates in
ceramics and glass applications.

Competitor? Gradiant/AlkaLi... Schlumberger
Home of DLE in a Box (shipping container). Bench tested process of producing Lithium from brine. My first thought,..
That's gotta be one humongous Bench to hold their container. They entered a deal with Schlumberger back in 2022 to install one of their modular units at one of their sites. Private company (AlkaLi) hasn't shared whether this has been done or is in process. Public company (Schlumberger) hasn't said anything that I can find, but it appears they have restricted access for shareholders only.
Do your own DD. Mine is probably seriously flawed...
Looking for Lithium in all the wrong places ...
Think I'll stick with John and IBAT.

First time I'm seeing them. DLE is a crowded landscape with a massive gap in talent and experience.

[gregcod]

They are a ways behind in proven their tech, but on a commercial basis is next for them.. The competition is good..The early bird gets the worm... IBAT will have multiple contract clients soon, IMO....The rush is on! Bring it on ..Burba knows its his time to be the GodFather of Lithium..and needs to move fast..and he is!

[gregcod]

Coud not have said my thoughts on IBAT any better!..Quarterly 2nd report out before end of month..in the mean time, IBAT/US Mag producing lithium 5 to 9 metric tons ..more units to be built for new clients seems to be a no brainer.Patience..Buy now or pay more as the price will go up by September as you stated..Getting a bit closer..Testing results will be released soon.Id expect more good news will get IBAT out of the pink OTC..The sooner the better.

[tom16]

Big advantage to being first. It's going to be fun to see what happens to us from here. Will Dr. Burba's modular DLE plants become the safest, fastest, most cost effective method of producing Lithium? Will IBAT's share value finally increase to a level that allows it to escape the Pink OTC and change its trading symbol to DLE? Will demand become so great that the company will be forced to hire an Army of Minions to service the needs of North America, South America, Europe and the World?...or will Big Oil say?..."You know? Why don't you let us take over from here?"
Just dreaming. Good luck!

I would like to give a shout out to Elon Musk for not buying IBAT(Symble) from Dr.John for 1.5 billion years ago..or we would not have this chance to score big on IBAT....Now comes this famous miner song...Big John....Big Bad John....We get a little bit closer....you build the house....they will come(contract clients)..Big day ahead.Volume precedes price ..and you aint seen nothing yet..so keep buying..IMO..while ya can...

By Ernest Scheyder

HOUSTON (Reuters) - In a milestone for the global clean-energy transition, International Battery Metals has become the first company to commercially produce lithium with a novel type of filtration technology, a step expected to usher in cheaper and faster supplies of the electric-vehicle battery metal.

At a site in rural Utah controlled by privately-held US Magnesium, IBAT started producing this week commercial volumes of lithium at a rate of nearly 5,000 metric tons per year using its version of a direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology.

The breakthrough has not been previously reported.

The company, which developed its DLE plant to be portable, has essentially beaten Standard Lithium, SLB, Rio Tinto, Eramet and others to be first to that mark. Industry investors, analysts and customers have waited years for commercial level output.

With DLE now proven on a commercial scale, it is expected to grow within a decade into an industry with $10 billion in annual revenue by transforming the speed and efficiency of lithium production for EV manufacturers and others, analysts said, much the way that fracking and horizontal drilling helped boost U.S. oil production.

IBAT's method is based in part on technology developed by IBAT's chairman, John Burba, at Dow Chemical in the 1980s. "This is all about boosting the global supply of lithium," said Burba. "We feel like we've hit at a critical time for this industry."

The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that salty brine deposits across Europe, Asia, North America and elsewhere are filled with roughly 70% of the world's reserves of the ultralight metal.

Lithium has historically been produced with evaporation ponds, which are used to extract the metal from those brines, or open-pit mines, which are used to remove it from hard rock deposits. The intensive water use and physical footprint of those methods, as well as their long development and production times, sparked the hunt for a third option.

While DLE technologies vary, they are comparable to common household water softeners and aim to extract about 90% or more of the lithium from brines, compared to about 50% using ponds.

Arcadium Lithium and some others use DLE processes in tandem with ponds, but no DLE technology had previously reached commercial production without them, sparking competition to expand output to the many parts of the world where occasional rainfall makes evaporation ponds impractical.

Many brine deposits have varied chemical compositions, meaning it is unlikely that any single DLE technology - including IBAT's - will emerge as a global standard, analysts have said. Many Chinese deposits have high concentrations of magnesium, for example, and Bolivian deposits - among the largest in the world - have high potassium levels.

Lithium has repeatedly proven difficult to separate from those and other metals often co-mingled with it in brines. That has confounded many scientists working on DLE technologies for years. Lithium is also technically a salt, and can prove corrosive.

The breakthrough for IBAT coincides with a more than 80% drop in lithium prices in the past year, fuelling layoffs at industry leader Albemarle, DLE upstart Lake Resources and others. Still, IBAT plans to build more of its plants and market them for use across the globe.

STRATEGY

IBAT said the company succeeded with hitting commercial-scale production partly due to its relatively small plants.

While rivals have tried for more than a decade to commercialize DLE, their plans involved production volumes of 20,000 tons per year or more at permanent facilities often in remote regions where labor and supplies are difficult to procure.

Houston-based IBAT designed and built a 450-foot-long (137 meter) portable plant in Louisiana that it moved in 13 parts to the US Magnesium site, which draws brine from the Great Salt Lake.

Additional plants can be added and stacked like Lego bricks to boost production in 5,000-ton-per-year increments. It takes 18 months to build an IBAT plant and reach production, the company said.

Each plant, which is smaller than three acres (1.2 hectares), is designed to move in the future to a new deposit for reuse, saving construction costs. IBAT's plant costs $50 million to $60 million each, depending on several factors.

Paris-based Eramet spent nearly $900 million on its own DLE project that aims to come online this year in Argentina after more than a decade of development.

Ron Thayer, president of US Magnesium, said he chose IBAT's process because of its portability as well as the type of adsorption material that IBAT's process uses to filter lithium from brine, which Burba developed.

US Magnesium, which has started selling lithium produced with IBAT's technology and paying IBAT a royalty, considered several rival processes including one from Breakthrough Energy Ventures-backed Lilac Solutions before settling on IBAT, he added.

"I consider (IBAT) a commercial lithium producer," Thayer said

Exxon Mobil, which is developing a lithium project in Arkansas, has considered using IBAT's technology, Reuters has reported.

IBAT's facility aims to recycle more than 98% of the water it uses. Burba has repeatedly flagged the lithium industry's high water use as a structural impediment to DLE commercialization.

That recyclability is key especially in Utah, where officials last year tightened regulations on water extraction from the Great Salt Lake that forced Compass Minerals to abandon its lithium plans.

📢 Announcement of the Results of the RFI Process for Chile's Lithium Exploration and Exploitation!

(English/Español)

The Ministry of Mining just announced the results of the call for expressions of interest (RFI) for exploring and exploiting lithium.
Key Highlights:

◾ Diverse Participation: Interest from companies across 10 countries.
◾Geological Potential: The majority of interests target regions with significant geological promise.
◾Innovative Technology: Over 80% of projects aim to utilize direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies.

🔍 Next Steps: The Ministry of Mining is currently conducting a thorough analysis of these projects, focusing on financial capability of the companies, estimated annual production, technology, and mining experience. This detailed evaluation will play a crucial role in determining which lithium deposits will proceed to the next stage of contract assignments.

📅 Upcoming Announcements: By the end of August, the mechanisms for assigning contracts to prioritized deposits will be revealed. In cases where direct impact is anticipated, the Ministry will initiate the necessary indigenous consultations.

Chile's journey towards becoming again the leader in lithium production is gaining momentum. Hopefully, in the next few months, the Ministry of Mining will start assigning Special Operation Contracts (CEOLs) to the most promising projects and companies.

memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ExxonMobil

SK On, the world’s fifth-largest battery maker, is among the first to partner with Sakuu in developing the Kavian platform. SK On currently operates two EV battery plants in Commerce, Georgia. It’s further expanding its presence in the US Southeast by constructing additional EV battery plants through joint ventures with Ford and Hyundai.

SK On is rapidly ramping up battery production plans in the US – earlier this week, the South Korea-headquartered battery maker had signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ExxonMobil for a multiyear offtake agreement of up to 100,000 metric tons of Arkansas lithium.

You're on that thang again buddy boy

Profitable down to $6/kg low as 100ppm.

Read what you want it's definitely hilarious you're still "here" granted you're "out of lithium" and "called it"

Save that for someone who would believe it, like the candy boy from Louisiana. Have you asked him how that BHE theory is going lately?

Still looking for the salton sea units, I can't see past burba dropping his grace on the Fast Markets conference.

Here's a rabbit - use linkedin for IDE TECHNOLOGIES, trail is hot at #CODELCOSADDN

Janick coming in hot....

If the lithium landscape played out as you said....sayona pumped as you sold, ibat sold off as you took profits and e3 pumped as you bought. Not exactly one to trust beyond a YouTube video per post and a wabbit

[TradingCharts]

Heads up buddy boy I have 400 shares of E3 I have $400 in e3 I spent 3X that on fireworks the other day. I have less than $10K in Syaxf. I have a handfull of ibatf
shares. My only lithium stock I care about is Pilbara, which I bought under a dollar long ago..

I told you 2-years ago lithium prices would crash. I told you and eveyone else on my lithium board I was getting out of lithium.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/LITHIUM-STOCKS-AND-CHARTS-38501

I trade TSLA, NVDA, ENVX, QS, AMPX and others.

Burba says he needs to make $17,000 a ton. Go back and watch the videos. It's not worth my time with the few shares I have.
$9000 a ton won't make anyone money.


I'm here to watch the never ending story.

Production going well? Not sure after IBATF got the notice if IBATF fails they are out 6-months later. IBATF hanging by a thread. That contract is garbage and everyone knows it.

[D8c00p3r]

Ok?

Fact: The unit is on-site currently producing. Simple math on a best case basis 30 days continuous production out of 4k tpa would = 328 tonnes at a rate of 10.96 per day...

given pricing ranges from $10-24/kg depending on who you want to read it from I'd say US Mag and IBAT are doing just fine running the technology to get actual data before "making a production announcement" but what do I know I've only been following IBAT since 2018

Fact: Eramet is on-site currently producing

Fact: E3 has third party technology and will never realize profits because the project is too expensive

Fact: Will need you to fill this one in on how Ensorcia or Burba are responsible for any P&D activity, I can't find those facts.

Fact: BHE & Terralithium are extending to Smackover

Fact: Sayona is a 4x failed project spanning decades.

Opinion: You should take a vacation
