Updating IBOX be patient with me I have to do work arounds.
In the video early on he mentioned US brines with high calcium and sulfate concentrations this is why rabbit
PEMIF is the closest to permit.
You can google their drill hole results.
Obviously Scotch creek and the company that is currently doing ponds in Nevada.
Sulfates is in geothermal brines.

What brines in us have high calcium and sulfate?
This was mentioned in the video might lead us to a "who".
Good to hear the company continuing to speak on performance versus valuation.

Great video...lot of potential in the making
A lot of great info.
My favorite part is we are testing real brines for 2 US companies and other brines.
Those tests brine lithium should than be sent to Novonix and put into batteries and tested.
Should have news all summer long.
Cash was in hand and they were waiting for this day.
Short it as close as they could to the $500 million mark, just couldn’t get there though.
Maybe still too strong?!?!
Ah....ha !
Sound reporting (provides an explanation).
Nice. Okay, so - Now what ?
Just simply a reset ?
Or perhaps something grander ?
Nice find, thank you tw0122 and welcome to $IBATF
yes ..Agreed..the Dip is here..just waiting for funds to clear in my TD account..Sometimes it takes a whole day for this ACH transfer..whicj can help..and hinder if it starts going up again before it clears..but im buying in more soon as funds clear..Thanks..Glad to be Here with you All.Go IBATF!
Joe Manchin has made millions from coal. His ties are now facing examination as Democrats scramble for a climate and economic agreement
By Fredreka Schouten, CNN
(CNN)West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin's long-standing financial ties to the coal industry are facing fresh scrutiny following his opposition to key elements of a sweeping climate and economic package that Democrats are scrambling to reach a deal on this week.
Manchin, whose vote is crucial to passage of President Joe Biden's domestic policy priorities in an evenly divided 50-50 Senate, has holdings valued at between $1 million and $5 million in Enersystems, Inc., the coal brokerage business he founded, according to his most recent financial disclosure form that covers 2020 activity.
And last year, he made more than $491,000 from his Enersystems holdings, the filings show. That's more than twice his $174,000 annual Senate salary.
"Manchin is a walking conflict of interest," said Craig Holman, a lobbyist for the liberal watchdog group Public Citizen. "And what makes it all the more troubling is that he's the 50th Democratic senator, which gives him enormous sway over climate change policy."
But the debate over Manchin's coal interests also highlights what critics say are lax congressional ethics rules that give federal lawmakers broad leeway to regulate industries in which they have financial interests. In addition to his pivotal role on the sweeping domestic policy bill, Manchin helps set US energy policy as chairman of the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee. He has served on the panel since entering the Senate in November 2010, after he won a special election to replace the late West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd.
Congressional rules also permit federal lawmakers to trade individual stocks -- as long as they disclose the transactions and do not financially benefit from insider information.
"We have a system where a member of Congress can be invested heavily in, for example, the coal industry and then be responsible for overseeing climate policy," said Delaney Marsco, senior legal counsel for ethics at the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center. "It doesn't make sense."
In a written statement, a Manchin spokesperson said the senator "is and has been in full compliance with Senate ethics and financial disclosure rules."
"He continues to work to find a path forward on important climate legislation that maintains American leadership in energy innovation and critical energy reliability," the statement added.
The fresh attention to Manchin's energy interests comes as Biden and Democrats are racing this week to complete a framework for a domestic policy bill that includes many of the President's priorities on the economy and climate. To avoid a filibuster by Senate Republicans, Democrats are relying on a budget process that requires the support of all 50 senators who caucus with them. That gives Manchin, a moderate member of the caucus, enormous sway over the negotiations.
Manchin has resisted climate provisions -- including the so-called Clean Energy Performance Program. The program, which had been a cornerstone of Biden's climate plan, aimed to reward utilities for switching to clean energy sources, such as wind and solar, and penalize those relying on coal and gas.
Manchin consistently opposed the program for months, saying he didn't support a program that would push utilities to move to clean energy faster than they were already doing. Manchin had also cited concerns that switching to clean sources of energy could mean energy would be more unreliable than continued use of fossil fuel.
"The transition's already happening," Manchin told CNN recently. "So I'm not going to sit back and let anyone accelerate whatever the market's changes are doing."
The clean electricity program was Manchin's biggest climate hang-up in the bill. But the West Virginia senator has also been pushing back on other provisions, including a methane fee that would be levied on oil and gas companies who let methane leaks escape into the atmosphere.
Manchin still is negotiating the proposed methane fee with his fellow Democratic lawmakers.
Energy interests
Manchin has never made any secret of his ties to coal. He's a former governor of the country's second-biggest coal-producing state, and he founded Enersystems before entering politics.
The senator also has a stake in another firm run by his son, Farmington Resources Inc. Its services include "support activity" for coal and metal mining and drilling oil and gas wells, according to corporate filings with the West Virginia secretary of state's office.
Between 2011 and 2020, the Democrat made between $4.9 million and $5.1 million from coal-related enterprises, according to an analysis by Open Secrets, a nonprofit that tracks money in politics.
The organization also estimates Manchin's net worth at anywhere from $4.3 million to $12.8 million. Lawmakers are only required to disclose their assets and liabilities in broad ranges, making it impossible to determine precise values.
Manchin's Senate campaign also benefited from of a flood of political contributions from the energy industry in recent months. He took more than $400,000 from energy interests during the July-to-September fundraising quarter, according to a CNN review of his recent filing with the Federal Election Commission.
Donors in that period included billionaire oil tycoons Harold Hamm, the chairman of Continental Resources; Richard Kinder, the executive chairman of energy infrastructure company, Kinder Morgan; and Trevor Rees-Jones, who founded Chief Oil and Gas.
He also received donations from an array of energy-related political action committees in those months, including those affiliated with ConocoPhillips; utility companies such as Exelon and Dominion Energy; and Texas oil producer Pioneer Natural Resources.
Manchin, who isn't up for reelection until 2024, raked in nearly $1.6 million in the third quarter -- as he and another centrist Democrat, Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Simena, emerged as key players in the negotiations over their party's sweeping domestic policy proposals.
Patchwork of ethics laws
Manchin's energy holdings -- and his actions that benefit the coal industry -- are legal under rules that police potential conflicts of interest in the Senate.
The rules differ dramatically, depending on the branch of government.
Executive branch employees, for instance, are generally required to recuse themselves from decision making when their financial interests conflict with their official duties. They face potential criminal and civil charges for failing to do so. Those appointees also must abide by additional ethics rules established by the President -- such as not engaging in decisions involving their former employers. Appointees in the executive branch can and do seek and receive waivers of ethics rules in limited circumstances.
It is against the law for federal judges to hear cases in which they have any legal or financial interests, but the law doesn't impose penalties for violations.
In Congress, meanwhile, lawmakers only must recuse themselves from taking official actions in a narrow set of circumstances: If they or their immediate family members are in a small group that would benefit from the legislative action.
But a lawmaker who owns a dairy farm, for instance, can still make policy decisions that affect the entire dairy industry because those actions "also have a broad, general impact on his state or the nation," according to the Senate's ethics manual.
And requiring lawmakers to recuse themselves from decisions that benefit certain industries could end up hurting their constituents "who are entitled to have their elected representatives represent them by voting and fully participating in all aspects of the legislative process," the manual adds.
Watchdog groups are urging Congress to revisit its conflict-of-interest standards.
One bipartisan measure, authored by Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia and Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, would require House members, for example, to place a broad array of holdings in blind trusts. Investments in widely held funds, such as mutual funds, and Treasury bonds would be exempted.
"The rules are currently insufficient to meet the challenges, particularly if you take into consideration that the American people really view corruption as a huge problem," said Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette of the Project on Government Oversight. His group supports the blind trust bill.
"The appearance of impropriety is just as bad as the real thing," he added, "because that drives the way people feel about politics and government."
Lithium names plunge as Manchin hits brakes on Biden electric vehicle push
Apr. 05, 2022 5:41 PM ETGlobal X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (LIT), PLL, LACSLI, MP, LTHM, ALB, SQMBy: Carl Surran,
Senator Joe Manchin told the LNG Allies' Transatlantic Energy Security Forum IV event on Tuesday that he "will not sign up" for an aggressive electric vehicle push, which apparently sent lithium industry stocks (NYSEARCA:LIT) plunging across the board.
Among potentially relevant tickers: NASDAQ:PLL -10.8%, NYSE:LAC -10.7%, SLI -7.6%, MP -6.5%, LTHM -6.5%, ALB -3.9%, SQM -3.6%.
Manchin raised two objections to President Biden's plan for electric vehicles, according to the Washington Examiner: Proposals have not sufficiently addressed who will get the revenue from the electricity used to charge vehicles with taxpayer-funded charging stations, and U.S. critical mineral supply chains are underdeveloped.

Luciano G. Pafundi
Ex Director of Community Development
Argentina
Last Friday was my last day as Director of Community Development for the Ministerio de Desarrollo Productivo 's Secretary of Mining. After just over 5 years in that role I felt the need to embark on new professional paths.
They were very intense years and challenging projects: the strengthening of the social management of mining, the sectoral agenda of human rights, the promotion of a more inclusive mining, the promotion of dialogue and the right to participation, the relevance of social aspects in the processes of mine closure, environmental education, local development and occupational health and safety practices among those working in the sector, technical training to promote greater and better employability of communities and work to reduce the vulnerabilities of "other mining" such as the brick sector.
These issues are just some in which I worked, always putting all my effort and commitment into achieving public policies based on the protection of people's rights and the generation of opportunities for communities; convinced that the responsible insertion of #minería in the territories is a real factor of development for the country.
There are many people with whom I collaborated, articulated and worked in my time at the Secretariat, and to all of them, my deepest gratitude! Thank you Santiago J. Dondo, Carolina del Valle, sylvia gimbernat, Alberto Santos Capra and most recently Leonardo Pflüger for your votes of confidence in me!! Last but not least: Thanks to the DDC team that accompanied me unconditionally all these years with great commitment: @SoledadLaclau, Mariela Caffarena, @JuanMartínIsla, María Belén Bertiller and Carolina Veiga.

i keep up with ibat. i am here because i noticed ibat was overbought and i wanted to hint to the market that a change in strategy might be called for considering the ibat situation. I dont hold or sell ibat since i last posted when i sold my entire position to you i guess lol. and you are welcome. i found other gems in my absence. I am interested in ibat but the court case and potential fudge job done by burba turned me away. I will likely wait until there are indications from the court before i ever decide to buy or short sell .
Oh, please every long here knew we were over bought.

It is what happens to a stock with big gains.
Take a look at LLKKF SYAXF SLI LAC LISMF
But if you want to take credit for it you can.
If you are the seller than I guess you were deserving of the credit.
So, you got your revenge on IBATF I guess that is why you are here? Certainly, it is not to take a position before the court date that you are drooling over.
I'm a chart person seen this coming.

Darn rabbit hopped into my lap today.
He showed me one other reason why Dr. Burba is working on a geothermal patent with Mr. Harrison.
Hint on the next post.
Definitely scooped some, we needed the breath. Unhealthy to trade at daily ATH
Mkt cap = 683m U.S.
Which is kinda getting "up there", no ?
Or what - Given how far along they are ?....
At any rate - Sector's gettin' "smunched" today.....
LAC, etc.
China's been on holidays......Risk ON's been in play
Looks like you have bargains today.
Unless you are right, and it is overvalued

There is no ceiling.
$IBATF is the "Tool" that brine property owners could use to extract their lithium from their brines.
$IBATF model in South America is a royalty and a percentage of the company.
The limit is how many companies want to use $IBATF tech.
With this share count how high could this reasonably go?
About time the MMs adjust the chart.
I am surprised not many trailing stops triggered.
Unless the MM's kept them for themselves. Let's hope they got some.
