“ There is a painful theme to this story. Each step in spodumene processing to battery grade products requires a lot of energy and produces copious amounts of GHG. Post mining and crushing, all of the remaining steps require significant additional chemical input. The formula is simple: more mining and processing steps equal more energy, more GHG, more chemicals, and more chemical waste. This leads to more inevitable air, ground, and surface water pollution.”
The golden rule of DLE processes and any spent brine re-injection is to not introduce foreign materials to the salar aquifer, and there is significant above ground work to be done for each project to ensure that this is not the case, depending on the type of DLE process being implemented.
IBATs method does not pretreat brine, which enables them to reinject the spent brine
This is a great read, I believe it has been posted here before

Shows just how close salar de tambo is to coipasa salar.
Rights to 9000 ha right next to salar coipasa! Super excited!

Very proud of ENSORCIA Chile. Looking forward to operating the most sustainable mining operations in South America.
Equally excited to announce our European and US developments over the coming weeks, after years of quiet development and construction. Much thanks goes to our team that has been working on these projects for close to 5 years.

Have you ever seen this? https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/687143/Lithium_Chile_Inc__LITHIUM_CHILE_IDENTIFIES_58KM2_HIGH_PRIORITY.jpg?p=publish
TEM survey of coipasa shows 400 meters deep of continuous brine. I’m holding long on this.
Spot on, back in the green for me :)
JULY PROGRESS REPORT
Trading Symbol: IBAT
Number of Outstanding Listed Securities: 126,227,138
Date: 9 August 2021
(For the month of July 2021)
Report on Business
1. Provide a general overview and discussion of the development of the Issuer’s business
and operations over the previous month. Where the Issuer was inactive disclose this fact.
The Issuer is an advanced technology company focused on ethical lithium brine
extraction. The Issuer is in the process of creating and applying intellectual property
related to lithium extraction from salars, aswell as geothermal and oilfield brines. The
Issuer's unique extraction process is intended to be environmentally friendly, low
cost, and has the potential to produce high-quality, commercial grade lithium at a
much faster rate than the current industry standards.
2. Provide a general overview and discussion of the activities of management.
The Company has substantially finished the detailed engineering and has acquired
some of the key equipment components for fabrication of the Mobile Lithium
Extraction Unit (“the Unit”). The Company plans to have all of the mobile skids
completed in the fourth quarter of this year with the objective of having the Unit
deployed to the field for the commencement of trial testing by the end of the year

Have we hit the bottom? To me, it feels so.
The economics of modular units is going to be insane. A no-brainer for all things brine lol.
Ya the old Facebook page was high jacked by mining.com articles. The new page is https://m.facebook.com/International-Battery-Metals-Ltd-101053482197579/. I sure hope the old pages get taken down soon

It would be fascinating if burba would write up and explain why he believes selective absorption is superior to these new emerging technologies
Such a great community of ibat believers. Truly an amazing time to be holding ibat!
Quiet board, tick tock tick tock….
But hey share price is at 5 month highs! Knocking on the all time high!
OTC baby! Wow she went up fast
Brine is king. And always will be
“ The petition argues that the proposed mine threatens water quality in wells, streams and reservoirs in the nearby Gaston County towns of Dallas and Belmont. Toxic chemical leaks from lithium mines have been known to kill fish and livestock en masse in China, Wired magazine reported.
The petition also raises concerns about the amount of dust, noise and light pollution the mine would likely cause, as well as the potential for blasting to threaten the structural integrity of local homes and businesses.”

Looks like we both have the same idea :). Are you you in any other lithium plays? I am also in ltmcf and rhhnf
Any guesses as to the collapse in share price here?
Unheard of. I am highly skeptical of this number.
That’s a lot of lithium

Once again it seems ibat fb is promoting the competition lol.
It’s been a great week, hope everyone has a great weekend!
Wild day!
Notice how close we are to minera salar blanco. :)

New Argonne Study Puts Charge Into Drive for Sustainable Lithium Production
A critical new study by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has yielded fresh critical insights into the lithium production process and its relation to long-term environmental sustainability, particularly in the area of transportation with batteries and electric vehicles.
According to Argonne lifecycle analyst and lead author Jarod Kelly, the researchers found that the sourcing of lithium, from both a process and location perspective, can strongly affect its associated environmental impacts.
“The results show that concentrated lithium brine and its related end products can vary significantly in energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, sulfur dioxide emissions, and water consumption depending upon the resource allocation method used,” Kelly explained.
The highlights of the study are:
-Cradle-to-gate life cycle comparison of lithium from brine and spodumene ore.
-Li2CO3 and LiOH•H2O from brine have lower life cycle GHG emissions than from ore.
-Lithium source meaningfully affects lithium-ion battery environmental footprints.
-Freshwater consumption is lower for brine-based products than ore-based products.

Haha ya at least this form of social media I can make money at.
He’s a nice friendly knowledgeable guy, have yourself a nice chat with him sometime. And ya I think we own them 10-15 million shares if they meet conditions. But that would be the biggest mistake of their lives if they dump them early ;)
Ya why do you?
Revamped ensorcia metals website is out. https://www.ensorciametals.com/direct-lithium-extraction
Is it just me or does it look almost identical to IBATs? :)
If you can’t beat them, why not join them? Dr Burba could have you producing in less than a year
After they see our unit producing, they’ll come begging to partner with us. IMO!
It would not surprise me if the order goes 2,3, then 1. Permitting is a long process
Good eye!
The new gigafactories being built in Europe will need to source their lithium from somewhere...
I think we can get a sense of where Ensorcia's supply will be going by following this guy https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-layton-31740645/detail/recent-activity/
