Chevron and mining permits in the U.S. revolves around a California Department of Conservation permit for Chevron U.S.A. Inc. to rework a well in the McKittrick Oil Field. This permit was granted in April 2025

McKittrick Oil Field ~200ppm Li

I am keeping a close eye on this one.

Nice find. To late for me to sticky post I will but your link in this post and then save.

“The new application might target specific aspects of the modular extraction apparatus (e.g., a particular tank design or column array configuration) to create layered protection or cover potential competitor workarounds.”

Seems the most logical, to me.

But when I read the patents, the verbiage of the first one feels chemical based. And the second(continuation submission) same chemical verbiage, it includes more mechanical operations.

Gotta wonder if the USPTO wouldn’t allow certain mechanical aspects and requested that it be omitted from the first patent. Maybe the patent issuers didn’t know that it could work, and Dr. Burba said, ok, can I prove and then submit a reissue of the patent. Then US Magnesium processing of solids into liquids came along and validated the mechanical operations which supported the chemical.

The only thing I didn’t validate here is timelines between all of these transactions.

Grok answer.

The situation you’ve described involves two patent records for a Modular Extraction Apparatus by International Battery Metals, Ltd. with the same inventor, John L. Burba, and nearly identical abstracts. One is a patent application (Publication number: 20250121329, filed December 20, 2024, published April 17, 2025) and the other is a granted patent (Patent number: 12172129, filed January 12, 2024, granted December 24, 2024). The question is why a new patent application was filed so soon after the grant of a seemingly identical patent. Here’s a critical analysis of possible reasons, grounded in patent law and practice, while avoiding speculation beyond what’s supported by the information:
Continuation or Divisional Application:
The new application (20250121329) could be a continuation, continuation-in-part (CIP), or divisional application related to the granted patent (12172129). These types of applications are often filed to pursue additional claims or variations of the invention based on the original disclosure.

Continuation: The applicant might be seeking broader or different claims that were not granted in the original patent. For example, the granted patent’s claims might be narrow, and the new application could aim to secure broader protection or cover alternative embodiments.

Divisional: If the original application contained multiple inventions (e.g., different configurations of the modular extraction apparatus), the USPTO might have required the applicant to split them into separate applications. The new application could cover a distinct invention from the same original disclosure.

Continuation-in-Part: If the new application includes additional subject matter (e.g., improvements or new data) not in the original filing, it could be a CIP. However, the identical abstracts suggest minimal new subject matter, making this less likely unless the claims or specifications differ significantly.

The filing date of the application (December 20, 2024) is close to the grant date of the patent (December 24, 2024), which is consistent with a continuation or divisional, as these are often filed during prosecution or shortly after a patent is granted.

Refinement of Claims or Response to USPTO Restrictions:
During the prosecution of the original patent (12172129), the USPTO might have issued a restriction requirement, indicating that the application covered multiple distinct inventions (e.g., daisy chain flow vs. column array configurations). The applicant may have elected to pursue one set of claims in the granted patent and filed the new application to cover the non-elected invention(s).

Alternatively, the applicant might have amended the claims in the original application to secure the grant but filed the new application to pursue claims that were abandoned or not allowed in the original prosecution.

Strategic Patent Portfolio Expansion:
Companies often file multiple related applications to build a robust patent portfolio, especially for valuable technologies like lithium extraction, which is critical for battery production. The new application might target specific aspects of the modular extraction apparatus (e.g., a particular tank design or column array configuration) to create layered protection or cover potential competitor workarounds.

The identical abstracts suggest the inventions are closely related, but the claims in the new application could focus on different details or applications not covered by the granted patent’s claims.

Administrative or Procedural Issues:
It’s possible the new application corrects an error or oversight in the original patent, such as a claim scope that was too narrow or a specification issue. However, this is less common post-grant unless the applicant seeks a reissue, which doesn’t appear to be the case here since 20250121329 is a new application, not a reissue.

Another possibility is that the new application was filed to align with international patent strategies, such as securing priority for foreign filings, though the timing (after the grant) makes this less likely.

Market or Competitive Considerations:
The lithium extraction industry is highly competitive, with significant demand for efficient and scalable technologies. International Battery Metals, Ltd. might have filed the new application to preempt competitors or strengthen their market position by covering additional variations of the technology.

The new application could also be a response to emerging market needs or technological advancements, though the identical abstracts suggest the core invention remains the same.

Why the Abstracts Are Identical
The identical abstracts indicate that the core invention—apparatuses and methods for extracting lithium or other chemical species using modular units with daisy chain flow, column arrays, or combinations—hasn’t changed significantly. However, patent applications often reuse abstracts while differing in their claims or detailed specifications. The claims, which define the legal scope of protection, are likely where the differences lie. For example:
The granted patent (12172129) might have claims focused on the daisy chain flow through tanks.

The new application (20250121329) might claim the column array or a specific combination of configurations.

Evidence and Context
The search results confirm that International Battery Metals, Ltd. is actively patenting in the lithium extraction space, with another recent application (Publication number: 20240367989, filed April 24, 2024) for preparing lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide using ion exchange resin. This suggests a broader strategy to protect multiple aspects of lithium processing technology.

The timing (new application filed four days before the original patent’s grant) strongly supports the idea of a continuation or divisional application, as applicants often file such applications late in the prosecution of the parent patent to pursue additional claims.

The Justia Patents listing for International Battery Metals, Ltd. shows both the granted patent and the new application, reinforcing that they are distinct filings despite their similarities.

Critical Perspective
While the establishment narrative (e.g., USPTO records) suggests a straightforward continuation or divisional filing, it’s worth questioning whether the applicant is engaging in patent evergreening—filing multiple applications to extend protection on the same core technology. This practice is common in high-stakes industries like lithium extraction but can stifle competition if used excessively. Without access to the full specifications and claims, it’s hard to confirm this, but the close timing and identical abstracts raise the possibility. On the other hand, the modular nature of the technology (tanks, columns, or combinations) naturally lends itself to multiple patentable inventions, justifying separate filings.
Conclusion
The new patent application (20250121329) was likely filed as a continuation or divisional application to pursue additional claims or distinct aspects of the modular extraction apparatus not covered by the granted patent (12172129). This could be due to a USPTO restriction requirement, a desire to broaden the patent portfolio, or a strategic move to cover specific configurations (e.g., column array vs. daisy chain flow). The identical abstracts suggest the core invention is the same, but differences in the claims or specifications are driving the new filing. For definitive insight, you’d need to compare the claims of both documents, available through the USPTO database or services like Google Patents.

Yesterday we made hashtag#lithium carbonate “live” to showcase to our Alberta government colleagues how simple it is to make battery grade products right here. E3 Lithium’s process eliminates the need for refining or “professing” off our site; which is where the majority of of the challenges in onshoring lithium stem from. North America boasts very little refining capacity for lithium battery products, but building from brines simplifies the refining AND being in Alberta enables easy access to infrastructure enables this further.

Behind me are the reactors that will be deployed to the field as part of our demonstration facility this summer.

Thank you to everyone who came out from the AER, Alberta Energy and Minerals and the local calgary and Mountain View officials. Also, a special thanks to Emilie Bodoin, Prof, Donald Sadoway and Joe Lowry who made the trip up from the U.S.

¡Mi amigo me llamó la atención sobre esto!

For months, water advocacy groups and water utility managers have suggested Perry's proposal is too prescriptive and puts too much focus on creating new water supply. His resolution calls for 80% of new revenue to be put toward projects such as desalination, which cleans sea and brackish water well enough to drink.

Tapping into brine wells?!?!

Germany's recent elections saw Friedrich Merz and his CDU/CSU bloc emerge victorious2. Merz's party won 28.8% of the votes, positioning him to form a coalition government. This election marks a significant shift in Germany's political landscape, with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) securing 20.2% of the votes1.

Merz's leadership is expected to bring changes in various areas, including economic policies, migration, and Germany's role in the European Union. He has emphasized the need for Germany to take a stronger leadership role in Europe and has expressed concerns about the country's economic stagnation

Germanys elections, Friedrich Merz and CDU should be a big help.

Codelco (Copper and Lithium) on the verge of bankruptcy, after issuing debt for US$ 1,500 million.
hashtag#argentina, hashtag#bolivia, hashtag#Chile, Oscar Vargas Villazon January 26, 2025.

As part of its investment plan in Copper and Lithium, Codelco completed a new bond issue for a total of US 1,500 million.

The operation included the placement of new bonds with maturities of 10 years and 30 years, with respective yields of 6.335% and 6.783%.

The harsh truth is that Codelco is too much in debt.

Local analysts recalled that the state-owned copper and lithium company went through terrible years in 2022 and 2023, the risk rating agency S&P cut the company's credit rating from A to BBB+.

Moody's and Fitch have added their ratings from A3 to Baa1 and from A- to BBB+ in October and November last year, respectively.

Clearly, the international community expresses concern about Codelco's increase in debt and decrease in production for several years.

Codelco on the verge of bankruptcy.

The Center for Copper and Mining Studies warns that Codelco's debt hike could lead the company to insolvency.

This high indebtedness has a direct impact on the country since the current public debt of the government is US$ 62,000 million.

Nice. Thanks. Sounds pretty good. Please do keep us reminded because I've STILL yet to learn how to maintain a good Watchlist !

Now but something YOU might want to add to YOUR Watchlist is ;

Volt Lithium Corp. (VLT:TSV; VLTLF:US; I2D:FSE)

Additionally, Volt's expansion into the North Dakota region represents another key growth driver. The company has secured funding from the State of North Dakota to acquire equipment for its field unit, which is expected to be deployed in the first half of 2025. Further funding applications, including an additional US$2 million for field studies, are planned for early 2025. This initiative not only diversifies Volt's geographical footprint but also strengthens its ability to capitalize on high-potential lithium reserves.

As highlighted in that same 3L Capital report, "The Permian Basin, where Volt operates, produces 19M bbls of lithium-infused brine daily, making it one of the largest sources of lithium in the USA."

With the announcement of a loan $1.36B in EnergySource Minerals combined with loans to Ioneer Ltd. and Lithium Americas Corp. the US now has a viable pathway to reach domestic production of 1,000,000 tonnes per annum of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent by 2035, establishing sufficient domestic production to supply its own lithium-ion battery production and export excess capacity. Much as technology breakthroughs in hydraulic fracturing rapidly unlocked shale deposits in the oil and gas sector, commercialization of DLE technology and can rapidly unlock massive quantities of battery-grade lithium from unconventional domestic resources.

America is doing big things again.

ExxonMobil subsidiary Esso has gotten the green light to look for lithium in Germany, specifically in the state of Lower Saxony. The State Office for Mining, Energy and Geology (LBEG) allocated four so-called permit fields for the exploration of lithium for an initial period of five years.
https://www.electrive.com/2024/12/18/esso-to-start-looking-for-lithium-in-germany/
The permit is valid from 1 January 2025 and covers an area spanning 1,443 square kilometres. But Esso will not be allowed to start digging right away – it has to await the approval of operating plans under mining law. It is not clear how long that will take.

According to the LBEG, Esso is looking to extract lithium for commercial purposes – the exact use is not specified further. As is well known, lithium is an important component for EV batteries, as well as for batteries used in smartphones, for example.
