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/
Big names in the filings
IBAT trying to break out this morning
Nasty polluting Hard rock spodumene. It’s only a big deal because piedmont’s name is on it too IMO.
I read there will be a countersuit for usurping an ibat business opportunity. Also, notice these are the claims against burba, it is my opinion there will be a different attorney representing ibat

This is a major milestone. The maricunga salar has some of the worlds highest lithium concentrations. Nearby Salar blanco has an average grade of 1170 mg/L Li.

One would think enough copper has been mined to reach “full circle,” but they keep mining more. I think it is far fetched to believe by 2050 lithium will have reached full circle; the reality is too much ends up wasted and in landfills.
Can’t wait to see what the brine concentrations will be

ESG to assume center stage in lithium extraction – report

interesting, this is the second seawater lithium extraction article they shared. Are we somehow involved in this?
Whenever I think about the unit build, I think of this guy.
From EVL, Kevin Moody https://vimeo.com/121927028/recommended
We are in good hands.
Lithium is a small tight industry and burba is The Godfather. His influence is far reaching.
I believe the patent you are referencing took 7 years to be granted
Well, they haven’t been specific on progress thus far, so they’re not going to start now. But burba gave a lot of hints in his new interview
I am hopeful they can deliver by the end of summer and have a live demonstration with the media present.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS now available on Sedar.

So many great points made in the interview. Sounds like we’ll get preview of the unit late summer or fall.
Lol nice list. Could all be using burbas tech when they figure out ion exchange is inefficient.

U.S. President Joe Biden will rely on ally countries to supply the bulk of the metals needed to build electric vehicles and focus on processing them domestically into battery parts, part of a strategy designed to placate environmentalists, two administration officials with direct knowledge told Reuters.
Lol. TC, you won’t like this article. Good for IBAT though.
The Company has become aware of certain rumors and accusations circulating on the internet against Dr. Burba and the Company concerning its rights to certain patents and technology. After careful review of our patent applications, the inventorship issues and the applications' assignment history, the Company is convinced that the inventorship and field of use of IBAT's patent portfolio is not in jeopardy as has been falsely reported on the Internet. To state this more succinctly, we are convinced that IBAT holds all necessary right to execute on its business plan and all current and future projects.
The Company cautions investors not to rely on unsubstantiated claims made by irresponsible third parties on the internet.
I feel like they are speaking directly to this board haha. Position A
Nice connection.
I doubt we are getting the whole story. Some have already made up their minds.
Weren’t the deals supposed to be through NAL and not IBAT. The purpose for the carve out?
What do you make of this? Burba asked if Borgese knew the result of sending in the employment contract to Mackie
Didn’t they sign noncompetition and nonsolicitation clauses in the eea
I agree, but I don’t think there is much merit to their allegations.
Burba asked if Borgese knew the result of sending in the employment contract to Mackie. Were they trying to work for Mackie Research? Anyhow it sounds like they got caught trying to self deal and fired.
He was terminated on June 29. I guess it will be up to a judge to determine if it was with cause.
Unless you can find otherwise, privetera was never hired by IBAT. I anticipate a fierce rebuttal by burba. Numbers 136-141 are interesting, Burba claims he has evidence contrary to Borgese claims.
Where do you see privetera as a board member of ibat?
Interesting! The Plaintiffs codeveloped the tech with burba at SAL. I would think that the purchase agreement the NAL shareholders signed in April 2018 would void the entire lawsuit.

Gearing up and ready if need be to take this to the PTAB.
Should burba and ensorcia lose, my take is ensorcia will pull out and this goes back to 10 cents. But, I don’t think they have much of a case. Read the SAL tech asset purchase in some earlier filings.
Patent update on 16171107
"Amendment/Req. Reconsideration-After Non-Final Rejection"
It looks like Burba got himself a new patent attorney, Vincent Marc Ferraro
https://www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Vincent-M-Ferraro
I believe they had 20 million conditional shares set aside for the SAL shareholders once all 3 became patents. I wonder if it is related to this?
Nearly identical to cypress results
