Thank you. I enjoy reading the opinions, but have little interest in correcting the misinformation that some try to pass off as fact as everyone is entitled to an opinion-whether they stink or not. This board has been getting a little too hot lately, with several posters more interested in heaping scorn on other's opinions instead of expressing their own opinion. The poster you chastise must be an American, as I have rarely met others who can be so crass and vulgar in expressing their dissatisfaction with others--maybe he/she is a politician who follows the dictum that if you have nothing better to offer then unfounded attacks on the opposition makes one seem to be intelligent (lol). I have been in the minerals and mining field since the mid 1960s and specialize in metals--also have the credentials and publications to back up my opinions and conclusions. Lithium is only in an anticipated short supply at the moment and because it is the flavour of the year there are quite a number of junior exploration companies out there looking for and evaluating new/known deposits. A few will be successful and very quickly there will be a perceived oversupply. Obviously, the new producers will certainly be in a better position to profit from any increase in demand, especially if they are mining Salars in Argentina and elsewhere. The hardrock deposits will make it into production if the grades are high and infrastructure costs are low. The junior exploration projects do make excellent speculations e.g., Nevada prospects. I've visited and evaluated several of the Salars, some of which are still geothermaly active, and I venture the opinion that these deposits will be able to supply Li at well below current prices for a very long time-decades to centuries,
